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

purpose of reviewWhile post-treatment control following interruption of standard-of-care antiretroviral therapy (ART) is well described, post-intervention control following immunotherapy in HIV cure-related clinical trials is less well understood. We provide an overview of recent studies that have identified post-intervention controllers and review the mechanisms that may drive this biologically important phenotype. RECENT

findingsPost-intervention controllers have been identified in recent immunotherapy trials testing broadly neutralizing antibodies, immune modulators, modified T cells, checkpoint inhibitors, and gene therapy administered individually or in combination. Currently, there is substantial variability in how each trial defines post-intervention control, as well as in how the mechanisms underlying such control are evaluated. Such mechanisms include ongoing activity of both exogenous and autologous antibodies, as well as changes in HIV-specific T cell function. SUMMARY: While no therapeutic strategy to date has succeeded in definitively inducing HIV control, many studies have identified at least a small number of post-intervention controllers. The field would benefit from a standardized approach to defining and reporting this phenotype, as well as standardization in the approach to assessment of how it is achieved. Such efforts would allow for comparisons across clinical trials and could help accelerate efforts toward an HIV cure.
