Dysregulation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 gene in HIV treatment-experienced individuals.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in a marked decrease in AIDS-related morbidity and mortality, the therapeutic benefit is often limited by side effects such as metabolic derangement such as lipodystrophy and hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. These side effects are pervasive in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. We investigated the effects of ART on cholesterol biosynthesis genes. This is a retrospective analysis of data and specimens collected during a cross-sectional, case-control study of ART-induced toxicity. Cases were HIV treatment-experienced individuals with HIV viral suppression and no diagnosis of ART-associated toxicity (n = 18), and controls were HIV-uninfected individuals (n = 18). The mRNA expressions of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) and ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) were significantly upregulated in cases (HIV+) compared to controls (HIV-), as well as the corresponding protein expression level of HMGCR. We observed dysregulation between sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP-2, sensory control) and HMGCR and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) pathways. Dysregulation of cholesterol biosynthesis genes may predate clinical manifestation of ART-induced lipid abnormalities.
