Trial report in Frontiers in immunology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02767193 (Safety and Immunogenicity of a Vaccine Dendritic Cell-based Pulsed With Autologous Heat-inactivated HIV in HIV-1 Infected Patients. Prospective, Randomized, Partially Blinded Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Introduction: Functional cure has been proposed as an alternative to lifelong antiretroviral therapy and therapeutic vaccines represent one of the most promising approaches. Materials and Methods: We conducted a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and effect on viral dynamics of a therapeutic vaccine produced with monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MD-DC) loaded with a high dose of heat-inactivated autologous (HIA) HIV-1 in combination with pegylated interferon alpha 2a (IFNα-2a) in people with chronic HIV-1. Results: Twenty-nine male individuals on successful ART and with CD4+ ≥450 cells/mm Discussion: Results from this study show that intranodally administered DC therapeutic vaccine in combination with IFNα-2a was safe and well-tolerated but had a minimal impact on viral dynamics in HIV-1 chronic infected participants. Clinical Trial Registration: (www.ClinicalTrials.gov), identifier NCT02767193.
