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

Patients living with human immunodeficiency virus 1 (PLWH) develop accelerated liver fibrosis, but the exact mechanism remains unknown. Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs)-a central driver of hepatic fibrogenesis-is influenced by various factors, including viral infection, hepatocellular injury, chronic immune activation, gut barrier dysfunction, and microbial translocation. The role of gram-positive microbial products in human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infection-associated liver inflammation and fibrosis remains poorly understood. This study investigates the effect of lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a major gram-positive bacterial component, on HSCs in the context of HIV-1 infection. Human primary HSCs (pHSCs) were isolated from liver tissues of HIV-1-infected and uninfected individuals undergoing hepatic resection. Inflammatory responses of HSCs to LTA stimulation were measured via ELISA in patient-derived HSCs, and in vitro Lx2 cells (a human HSC line) before and after HIV-1
