Acceptability of Cell and Gene Therapy for Curing HIV Infection Among People Living with HIV in the Northwestern United States: A Qualitative Study.
Article in AIDS research and human retroviruses, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Multiple strategies to cure HIV infection are under investigation, including cell and gene therapy (C>) approaches. Research, and ultimately treatment, with these novel strategies will require patients' willingness to participate. To elicit the perspectives of people living with HIV specific to these novel approaches, we conducted 4 focus group discussions with a diverse group of 19 English-speaking men and women living with HIV in care at a large academic HIV clinic in the northwestern United States. Thematic analysis indicated participants expressed initial fear about C> research. They articulated specific concerns about risks, including analytical treatment interruptions, and thought only a person in desperate straits would participate. They voiced significant mistrust of research in general and believed there was already a cure from HIV that was being withheld from the poor. Overall, they were satisfied with their health and quality of life on antiretroviral therapy. These findings suggest the importance of community engagement and educational efforts about C> for HIV cure to ensure optimal collaborative partnerships.
