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

backgroundLess than 0.5% of people living with HIV-1 are elite controllers (ECs)-individuals who maintain undetectable plasma viremia without antiretroviral therapy, despite having replication-competent viral reservoirs. While EC CD4

resultsWe find the CD4

conclusionsWe propose that the EC phenotype is driven in part by reduced KZNF-mediated repression of specific TE-derived cis-regulatory elements for antiviral genes, heightening their resistance against HIV-1. Our study reveals heterogeneity in the EC CD4
