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

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly improved the prognosis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Although ART can suppress plasma viremia below detectable levels, it cannot eradicate the HIV-1 DNA (provirus) integrated into the host cell genome. This integration often results in unrepaired DNA damage due to the HIV-1-induced inhibition of DNA repair pathways. Furthermore, HIV-1 infection causes telomere attrition in host chromosomes, a critical factor contributing to CD4+ T cell senescence and apoptosis. HIV-1 proteins can induce DNA damage, block DNA replication, and activate DNA damage responses across various organs. In this review, we explore multiple aspects of the intricate interactions between HIV-1 and the host genome involved in CD4+ T cell depletion, inflammaging, the clonal expansion of infected cells in long-term-treated patients, and viral latency. We discuss the molecular mechanisms of DNA damage that contribute to comorbidities in HIV-1-infected individuals and highlight emerging therapeutic strategies targeting the integrated HIV-1 provirus.
