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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to improve understanding of biological pathways underlying inadequate CD4 + T-cell restoration after initiating antiretroviral treatment as these so called Immunological nonresponders are at increased risk for morbidity and mortality while treatment options are lacking.
designWe compared baseline multiomics data from 88 Immunological nonresponders and 1467 immunological responders that participated in the 2000HIV study, separated into a discovery and validation cohort.
methodsWe measured expression levels of 2367 plasma proteins, comparing the immunological responders and nonresponders. As this highlighted low Src kinase-associated phosphoprotein 1 (SKAP1) levels in Immunological nonresponders, we measured intracellular SKAP1 levels in CD4 + T-cells, investigated DNA methylation and assessed single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We also explored whether HIV or CMV infection may influence SKAP1 expression.
resultsSKAP1 plasma levels were significantly lower in Immunological nonresponders in both cohorts. SKAP1 plasma concentrations reflected intracellular levels in CD4 + T-cells. DNA methylation analysis showed significant hypermethylation at the SKAP1 promotor region. Three SNPs close to the SKAP1 gene were associated with poor Immunological response. Preliminary data suggest that HIV or CMV may influence SKAP1 levels.
conclusionOur data show decreased SKAP1 concentrations in immunological nonresponders, potentially driven by hypermethylation of the SKAP1 promoter. Downregulation of SKAP1, which is known to play a role in T cell proliferation and migration, may therefore contribute to the poor restoration of CD4 + cell count after ART.
