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

backgroundThe histone deacetylase inhibitor vorinostat (VOR) can reverse human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) latency in vivo and allow T cells to clear infected cells in vitro. HIV-specific T cells (HXTCs) can be expanded ex vivo and have been safely administered to people with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy.

methodsSix PWH received infusions of 2 × 107 HXTCs/m² with VOR 400 mg, and 3 PWH received infusions of 10 × 107 HXTCs/m² with VOR. The frequency of persistent HIV by multiple assays including quantitative viral outgrowth assay (QVOA) of resting CD4+ T cells was measured before and after study therapy.

resultsVOR and HXTCs were safe, and biomarkers of serial VOR effect were detected, but enhanced antiviral activity in circulating cells was not evident. After 2 × 107 HXTCs/m² with VOR, 1 of 6 PWH exhibited a decrease in QVOA, and all 3 PWH exhibited such declines after 10 × 107 HXTCs/m² and VOR. However, most declines did not exceed the 6-fold threshold needed to definitively attribute decline to the study intervention.

conclusionsThese modest effects provide support for the strategy of HIV latency reversal and reservoir clearance, but more effective interventions are needed to yield the profound depletion of persistent HIV likely to yield clinical benefit. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT03212989.
