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

Recently the Tat/rev Induced Limiting Dilution Assay, or TILDA, has been proposed as a possible alternative method to quantify the HIV-1 reservoir. TILDA estimates the frequency of latently infected cells by probing, in a limiting dilution format, the presence or inducibility of tat and rev multiply spliced HIV-1 RNA. In doing so, TILDA reduces overestimation of reservoir size compared to HIV-1 DNA measurements because multiply spliced HIV-1 RNA is less likely to be transcribed from dysfunctional genomes with replication defects. TILDA is easy to perform, requires a very low input number of cells and has a fast turnaround time, making it ideal for use in clinical settings. Here we describe the execution of TILDA with particular emphasis on cell preparation and the limiting dilution scheme.
