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.
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
backgroundD²EFT (Dolutegravir and Darunavir Evaluation in Adults Failing Therapy) was a phase 3b/4 randomized clinical trial designed to assess second-line treatment options systematically. This substudy evaluated the distribution of drug resistance mutations (DRMs) before treatment randomization in individuals failing first-line therapy.
methodsFrom a total of 826 participants across 14 countries, 727 sequences that covered the PR-RT-INT (700), PR-RT (24), and RT (3) regions were analyzed for drug resistance. Sequences were submitted to the Stanford HIV drug resistance database to detect DRMs and assign subtypes. By adjusting for country and antiretroviral therapy regimen, we assessed the association between DRMs and country and reported DRMs.
resultsSubtype C of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) accounted for most (59.3%) infections. There were extraordinarily high rates of high-level resistance to lamivudine and emtricitabine (both at 88.3%) and for efavirenz and nevirapine (92.8% and 96.8%, respectively). On average, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor mutations had the highest occurrence across countries with M184V/I detected in 86.2% of the samples, while the highest proportion of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor mutations was K103N at 57.8%. K103N had an increased likelihood of occurrence in African and South American countries (P < .05). Participants with prior exposure to a zidovudine-containing regimen had an increased likelihood of T215F/Y mutations (6.80 [2.59-17.86]), while those with nevirapine/rilpivirine exposure had a decreased likelihood of K103N mutations (0.29 [0.15-0.56]).
conclusionsThe regional specificity of mutations underscores the dynamic nature of HIV-1 drug resistance patterns and the importance of monitoring and understanding local mutation profiles.
