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

Antiretroviral therapy suppresses HIV-1 infection but fails to eliminate a reservoir of intact latent proviruses that reside primarily in CD4+ T cells. The lack of precise understanding of the latent compartment has made it challenging to develop curative strategies for HIV-1 infection. Here we report on the properties of CD4+ T cell clones carrying intact latent proviruses, expanded in vitro from single cells obtained from the reservoir of people living with HIV-1. The latent proviruses in the clones were integrated into ZNF genes, nongenic satellite, and centromeric regions, frequently associated with latency. Despite their descent from single cells, only a fraction of the cells (0.4-14%) expressed relatively low levels of HIV-1 that did not measurably alter host gene transcriptome. Latency-reversing agents (LRAs) variably increased expression, but the effects were modest and clone and LRA specific. The results suggest that pharmacologic and immunologic approaches to clear the reservoir should be optimized to accommodate intra- and inter-clonal diversity.
