Emerging role of natural killer cells in non-AIDS comorbidities during suppressive antiretroviral therapy.
Review in Current opinion in HIV and AIDS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purpose of reviewDespite decades of insights about the role of natural killer (NK) cells in HIV infection, their persistent dysregulation despite antiretroviral therapy (ART) and its pathological consequences have been incompletely delineated. In this review, we highlight recent findings on the immunophenotypic and functional alterations of NK cells during virally suppressed HIV infection and explore their potential impact on promoting non-AIDS related comorbidities among people living with HIV (PLWH). RECENT
findingsOf note are the apparent persistent activated profiles of NK cells and pathophysiological events such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in potentially driving NK cell derived inflammation and tissue destruction. Additionally, recent interest in trained immunity is discussed as a potential mediator of ongoing NK cell dysregulation, contributing to comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and neurocognitive disorders, both with an inflammatory etiology. SUMMARY: Clinical and mechanistic evidence suggests persistent activation and dysregulation of the innate immune system are major drivers of non-AIDS comorbidities during virally suppressed HIV infection. Delineating the mechanistic role of specific components of innate immunity such as NK cells in inducing these pathologies will lead to the identification of novel therapeutic/prophylactic strategies to improve the overall health of PLWH.
