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

CCR5-delta 32 homozygous stem cell transplantation for HIV-infected individuals is being treated as a milestone in the global AIDS epidemic. Since 2008, when the second Berlin patient was cured from HIV after undergoing transplantation from a donor with delta-32 mutation, scientists are aiming for a long-term cure for the wider population. In 2019, a London patient became the second person to be free of HIV and came off the antiretroviral drugs completely. CCR5 gene is now being treated as a viable target for HIV treatment. It can be used in the treatment of HIV either through administration of drugs that bind to CCR5 and stop the receptor from working or through gene therapy to alter the CCR5 gene using CRISPR/Cas9 and prevent protein production. This review article aims to identify the obstacles and the need to overcome them in order to bridge the gap between current research and future potential cures for HIV.
