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

introductionHIV guidelines recommend switching from a three-drug regimen (3DR) to dolutegravir + lamivudine (DTG+3TC) for eligible individuals. This retrospective national cohort study used Swedish InfCareHIV registry data to evaluate long-term outcomes of adults with HIV RNA <50 copies/ml who switched to DTG+3TC or a guideline-recommended 3DR between July 2019 and May 2023 in routine clinical care.

methodsDemographic and clinical data were obtained from InfCareHIV at baseline, 6, 12, 24, 36 and 42 months post-switch. The primary endpoint was virologic failure (VF) rates at each time point; secondary endpoints included VF rates in prespecified subgroups, time to VF, and incidence of viral blips and treatment-emergent resistance. Generalized estimating equations modelling was used to assess the effects of clinical predictors on VF.

resultsA total of 1125 individuals (46%) switched to DTG+3TC, and 1336 (54%) switched to 3DR. Adjusted VF rates post-switch were 0.1-2.9% in the DTG+3TC group and 0.3-2.2% in the 3DR group in the intent-to-treat analysis (0-0.4% and 0.3-2.3% in the on-treatment [OT] analysis, respectively). In the OT set, the odds of VF were significantly lower for DTG+3TC versus 3DR at 24, 36 and 42 months (p<0.001). Treatment-emergent resistance rates were low in both groups.

conclusionsIn this long-term, real-world, national cohort, switching to DTG+3TC was associated with low rates of VF and antiretroviral therapy resistance, indicating that eligible individuals can be switched to DTG+3TC without increased risk of VF.
