Cytosolic DNA sensor activation inhibits HIV infection of macrophages.
Article in Journal of medical virology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cytosolic recognition of microbial DNA in macrophages results in the activation of the interferon (IFN)-dependent antiviral innate immunity. Here, we examined whether activating DNA sensors in peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) can inhibit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We observed that the stimulation of MDMs with poly(dA:dT) or poly(dG:dC) (synthetic ligands for the DNA sensors) inhibited HIV infection and replication. MDMs treated with poly(dA:dT) or poly(dG:dC) expressed higher levels of both type I and type III IFNs than untreated cells. Activation of the DNA sensors in MDMs also induced the expression of the multiple intracellular anti-HIV factors, including IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs: ISG15, ISG56, Viperin, OAS2, GBP5, MxB, and Tetherin) and the HIV restriction microRNAs (miR-29c, miR-138, miR-146a, miR-155, miR-198, and miR-223). In addition, the DNA sensor activation of MDM upregulated the expression of the CC chemokines (RANTES, MIP-1α, MIP-1β), the ligands for HIV entry coreceptor CCR5. These observations indicate that the cytosolic DNA sensors have a protective role in the macrophage intracellular immunity against HIV and that targeting the DNA sensors has therapeutic potential for immune activation-based anti-HIV treatment.
