Impacts of immune checkpoint inhibitors use on the HIV reservoir are linked to provirus sequences but not integration sites.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Antibodies to programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), Programmed death-ligand 1 (PDL-1) and Cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) can revert HIV latency and enhance anti-HIV cytotoxic response but their impact on HIV proviral sequences and integration landscape in people with HIV (PWH) remain to be studied. Two PWH treated with PD-1/PDL-1 and one with PD-1/CTLA4 were studied among the ANRS-CO-24 OncoVIHAC cohort study. Matched integration site and proviral sequencing were performed pre- and post-treatment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) were not associated with significant changes in total cell-associated HIV-DNA, nor significant changes in genomic or epigenetic features of integration sites. ICIs were associated with a lesser proportion of proviruses with pol frameshifts for all regimen, with the PD-1 and PD-1/CTLA4 patients also experiencing a higher proportion of proviral sequences harboring gag frameshifts and a higher number of STOP codons, consistent with a gag-driven immune clearance. ICI use were also associated with a limited reduction in the HIV-reservoir diversity. Finally, the patient with a PD-1/CTLA4 treatment exhibited the loss of an HIV-clone in the NIN-oncogene representing 17% of all his pre-treatment sequences. Despite stable levels of cell-associated HIV DNA, ICI treatment can lead to modest changes in proviral sequences landscapes.
