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

Background: Experience with Dolutegravir/Lamivudine (DTG/3TC) for rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in newly diagnosed people living with HIV (PLWH) remains scarce. We conducted a study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of DTG/3TC for rapid ART. Methods: This retrospective, real-world study was conducted among treatment-naïve PLWH at three centers in Beijing, Nanjing, and Qingdao. Participants were stratified into the rapid group (≤7 days) and the non-rapid group (>7 days) based on the time from HIV diagnosis to ART initiation. The primary endpoint was the rate of virological suppression (VS) at week 48, which was assessed using both intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses in accordance with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Snapshot algorithm. Results: A total of 145 participants were enrolled between February 2022 and October 2023 (57 in the rapid group and 88 in the non-rapid group). The median time for the two groups to ART initiation was 4.0 (3.0, 5.0) and 17.0 (12.3, 25.5) days, respectively ( Conclusion: Our study provides clinical evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of DTG/3TC for rapid ART in treatment-naïve PLWH, with outcomes comparable to those of non-rapid initiation.
