1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Latent HIV reservoir is the main obstacle that prevents a cure for HIV-1 (HIV). While antiretroviral therapy is effective in controlling viral replication, it cannot eliminate latent HIV reservoirs in patients. Several strategies have been proposed to combat HIV latency, including bone marrow transplantation to replace blood cells with CCR5-mutated stem cells, gene editing to disrupt the HIV genome, and "Shock and Kill" to reactivate latent HIV followed by an immune clearance. However, high risks and limitations to scale-up in clinics, off-target effects in human genomes or failure to reduce reservoir sizes in patients hampered our current efforts to achieve an HIV cure. This necessitates alternative strategies to control the latent HIV reservoirs. This review will discuss an emerging strategy aimed to deeply silence HIV reservoirs, the development of this concept, its potential and caveats for HIV remission/cure, and prospective directions for silencing the latent HIV, thereby preventing viruses from rebound.
