Incompletely closed HIV-1
Article in Npj viruses, 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
HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Envs) mediate viral entry and are sole target of neutralizing antibodies. Thus, HIV-1 Envs must maintain a delicate balance between evading neutralizing antibodies while still preserving viral compatibility to mediate entry into target cells. Here, we studied the viral entry effeciency, fitness, and replication of an incompletely closed, transmitted/founder HIV-1 Envs (CH040), which are highly resistant to most bnAbs. CH040 Envs mediated HIV-1 entry to target cells as efficient as other primary Envs, suggesting that antibody resistance and efficient viral entry can develop independently. Expression of CH040 Envs was comparable to other Envs and most CH040 variants that were rationally engineered to increase bnAb resistance showed no significant decrease in their ability to mediate HIV-1 entry. We detected robust in vitro spread of SHIV CH040 in pig-tailed macaque lymphocytes that was comparable to efficient spread of other SHIVs. Our study provides insights into the relationship between bnAb resistance and efficient HIV-1 entry.
