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

The "Kick and Kill" strategy, which aims to reactivate latent HIV reservoirs and facilitate the clearance of reactivated HIV-infected cells, has yet to achieve a functional cure due to the limited efficacy of current latency reversal agents. This study evaluates the combination efficacy of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor in latency reversal and immune-mediated clearance. Latently infected J-Lat cells and dual-fluorescent HIV-infected primary CD4 T cells were treated with the HDAC inhibitor (vorinostat) and one of four PARP inhibitors (olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, or talazoparib). PARP inhibitors, when administered alone, showed no latency reversal activity. However, when combined with vorinostat, their efficacy increased threefold compared to vorinostat alone. This effect was mediated by the inhibition of tankyrase, a PARP superfamily member, which modulates the Hippo signaling pathway. In HIV
