Rapid HIV Progression Is Associated with Extensive Ongoing Somatic Hypermutation.
Trial report in Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The Ab response to HIV is of great interest, particularly in the context of a protective vaccine and broadly neutralizing Abs, but research is typically geared toward elite controllers because of their ability to successfully control the virus. In this study, we studied the evolution of the Ab repertoire over the first year of HIV infection in people classified as rapid progressors (RP) compared with typical progressors. HIV RPs are an important yet understudied group of HIV patients classified by a rapid decline in CD4 counts and accelerated development of AIDS. We found that the global IgG somatic hypermutation load negatively correlated with disease progression, possibly because of exaggerated isotype switching of unmutated sequences in patients with low CD4 counts. We measured Ab sequence evolution over time using longitudinal samples taken during the early stages of infection and 1 year postinfection. Within clonal lineages spanning both timepoints, visit 2-derived sequences harbored considerably more mutations than their visit 1 relatives. Despite extensive ongoing somatic hypermutation, the initially strong signs of Ag selection pressure observed in visit 1-derived sequences decayed by visit 2. These data suggest that excessive immune activation in RPs leads to a hyperactive B cell response that fails to confer protection.
