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

People living with HIV (PLWH) have an increased risk for developing tuberculosis after M. tuberculosis infection, despite anti-retroviral therapy (ART). To delineate the underlying mechanisms, we conducted single cell transcriptomics on bronchoalveolar lavage cells from PLWH on ART and HIV uninfected healthy controls infected with M. tuberculosis ex vivo. We identify an M1-like proinflammatory alveolar macrophage subset that sequentially acquires TNF signaling capacity in controls but not in PLWH. Cell-cell communication analyses reveal interactions between M1-like macrophages and effector memory T cells within TNF superfamily, chemokine, and costimulatory networks in the airways of controls. These interaction networks were lacking in PLWH infected with M. tuberculosis, where anti-inflammatory M2-like alveolar macrophages and T regulatory cells dominated along with dysregulated T cell signatures. Our data support a model in which impaired TNF-TNFR signaling, M2-like alveolar macrophages and aberrant macrophage-T cell crosstalk, lead to ineffective immunity to M. tuberculosis in PLWH on ART.
