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 major challenge for HIV type 1 (HIV-1) cure is the presence of viral latent reservoirs. The "Shock & Kill" strategy involves the combined use of latency reversal agents (LRA) and antiretroviral treatment (ART) to reactivate HIV-1 latent reservoirs, followed by elimination of infected cells. However, current LRAs are insufficient in fully reactivating the latent reservoirs. Therefore, investigation on novel HIV-1 latency regulators will be crucial to the success of HIV-1 cure research. Here, we identify bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9) as an HIV-1 latency regulator. BRD9 inhibition induces HIV-1 latency reactivation in T cell lines, human resting memory CD4
