Cost-effective high-speed, three-dimensional live-cell imaging of HIV-1 transfer at the T cell virological synapse.
Article in iScience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The availability of cost-effective, highly portable, and easy to use high-resolution live-cell imaging systems could present a significant technological break-through in challenging environments, such as high-level biosafety laboratories or sites where new viral outbreaks are suspected. We describe and demonstrate a cost-effective high-speed fluorescence microscope enabling the live tracking of virus particles across virological synapses that form between infected and uninfected T cells. The dynamics of HIV-1 proteins studied at the cellular level and the formation of virological synapses in living T cells reveals mechanisms by which cell-cell interactions facilitate infection between immune cells. Dual-color 3D fluorescence deconvolution microscopy of HIV-1 particles at frames rates of 100 frames per second allows us to follow the transfer of HIV-1 particles across the T cell virological synapse between living T cells. We also confirm the successful transfer of virus by imaging T cell samples fixed at specific time points during cell-cell virus transfer by super-resolution structured illumination microscopy.
