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.

Abstract

backgroundHeavily treatment-experienced (HTE) people with HIV (PWH) have limited antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment options, putting them at greater risk of unfavorable human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) disease progression. Fostemsavir (BMS-663068) efficiently suppressed viremia and increased CD4 count when combined with other antiretrovirals in HTE PWH. Its active metabolite, temsavir (BMS-626529, GSK2616713), binds a conserved pocket within the envelope glycoprotein (Env) CD4 binding site and prevents CD4-induced conformational changes. Temsavir effect on Env conformation profoundly alters its glycosylation and cleavage, thereby modifying its antigenicity and reducing gp120 shedding. Here we evaluated if fostemsavir treatment in PWH modulated the levels of nonneutralizing gp120 CD4-induced (CD4i) antibodies (Abs) associated with CD4 depletion in vitro and in PWH.

methodsWe measured the levels of anti-gp120 CD4i Abs in plasma samples taken before and after fostemsavir treatment in HTE participants from the BRIGHTE trial and the PRESTIGIO registry and compared them to those of a control ART-treated group from the SAILING trial.

resultsWe observed a significant decline of anti-gp120 CD4i Abs in the 2 fostemsavir-treated HTE groups, but not in the control group. Moreover, this effect was unique to anti-gp120 CD4i Abs, as no significant changes were observed in the levels of antibodies targeting Gag. Functionally, this decline in CD4i Abs was associated with a reduced capacity of plasma to recognize and eliminate uninfected primary CD4+ T cells coated with soluble gp120.

conclusionsAltogether, fostemsavir may provide additional immune benefits to PWH, beyond blocking viral entry, by reducing anti-gp120 CD4i Abs levels. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION: NCT04098315, NCT01231516, and NCT02362503.
