Non-AUG HIV-1 uORF translation elicits specific T cell immune response and regulates viral transcript expression.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) is a complex retrovirus that relies on alternative splicing, translational, and post-translational mechanisms to produce over 15 functional proteins from its single ~10 kb transcriptional unit. Using ribosome profiling, nascent protein labeling, RNA sequencing, and whole-proteomics of infected CD4 + T lymphocytes, we characterized the transcriptional, translational, and post-translational landscape during infection. While viral infection exerts a significant impact on host transcript abundance, global translation rates are only modestly affected. Proteomics data reveal extensive transcriptional and post-translational regulation, with many genes showing opposing trends between transcript/ribosome profiling and protein abundance. These findings highlight a complex regulatory network orchestrating gene expression at multiple levels. Viral ribosome profiling further uncovered extensive non-AUG translation of small peptides from upstream open reading frames (uORFs) within the 5' long terminal repeat, which elicit specific T cell responses in people living with HIV. Conservation of uORF translation among retroviruses, along with TAR sequences, shapes DDX3 dependency for efficient translation of the main viral open reading frames.
