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

While systemic immune dysregulation is well-documented in HIV infection, its impact on blood and respiratory tract viromes remains poorly understood. This study characterizes HIV-associated alterations in viral communities and examines their clinical relevance. Using viral metagenomics, we compare 203 ART-treated HIV-positive individuals and 120 healthy controls. HIV infection significantly restructures the blood virome, shifting from bacteriophage dominance (96.2% in controls) to eukaryotic virus predominance (69.1%). Increased alpha diversity, significant β-diversity divergence, and heightened dispersion heterogeneity are observed in HIV cases. Consistent enrichment of Flaviviridae, Parvoviridae, and Anelloviridae is detected. Throat viromes maintain phage dominance (>90%) but exhibit strain-level diversification, including Microviridae proliferation. Network analysis reveals Retroviridae-Anelloviridae co-dynamics (r = +0.562) and identifies Picobirnaviridae as a key interactor. Functional analysis shows enriched viral replication and host modulation genes. Compartment-specific disruption patterns nominate Pegivirus C, parvovirus B19, and Anelloviruses as potential biomarkers. Cross-kingdom viral interactions suggest novel mechanisms influencing disease progression and support future virome-targeting adjunct therapies.
