Immunological and Neurological Signatures of the Co-Infection of HIV and HTLV: Current Insights and Future Perspectives.
Review in Viruses, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The human retroviruses HIV and HTLV-1/HTLV-2 are transmitted through similar pathways but result in markedly different diseases. This review delineates the immune-mediated mechanisms by which HTLVs influence HIV pathology in co-infected individuals. In the context of HIV co-infection, HTLV-1/HTLV-2 alter the cellular microenvironment to enhance their own survival while simultaneously impeding the progression of HIV. Despite the extensive body of literature on the biological and clinical implications of retroviral co-infections, decades of research have been marred by controversy due to several flawed epidemiological studies and anecdotal reports lacking robust statistical and scientific backing. Nevertheless, recent systematic and well-designed research has led to a growing consensus supporting at least three key conclusions: (1) co-infections of HIV-1 and HTLV-1 are frequently observed in patients with elevated CD4
