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

A proviral reservoir persists within the central nervous system (CNS) of people with HIV, but its characteristics remain poorly understood. Research has primarily focused on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), as acquiring brain tissue is challenging. We examined size, cellular tropism, and infection-dynamics of the viral reservoir in post-mortem brain tissue from five individuals on and off antiretroviral therapy (ART) across three brain regions. Microglia-enriched fractions (CD11b
