Impact of Female Sex Hormones on the Expression of CCR5/CCR8 Co-Receptor Genes and Virus Replication in HIV-1 Infection.

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
We studied the effects of female sex hormones estradiol and progesterone on the expression of CCR5 and CCR8 co-receptor genes (that play an important role in the HIV-1 entry into the cell) in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from different female donors and infected with HIV-1 subtype G. Female sex hormones produced a dose-dependent effect on the replication of HIV-1 subtype G: low doses of estradiol and high doses of progesterone significantly induced CCR8 expression in PBMC of all donors, which correlated with an increase in viral load by 1.5-1.7 times on average. The exception was one donor, in whom a high dose of estradiol also induced an increase in CCR8 expression. High concentrations of progesterone also enhanced the expression of the CCR5 co-receptor. The detected differences in the co-receptor expression in infected PBMC from different donors indicates that the host genetics may also play an important role in PBMC susceptibility to HIV infection.
