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

backgroundDoravirine (DOR)-containing antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been recommended as first-line ART by China treatment guidelines since 2021. However, Real-world studies on DOR in China are scarce. We evaluated the real-world effectiveness of DOR-containing ART in Chinese people with HIV-1 (PWH), including treatment-naïve people regardless of viral load (VL) at baseline and treatment-experienced people regardless if they were virologic suppression (VS) or not.

methodsThis was a retrospective, multicenter, observational study using medical chart review in seven hospitals, covering top-tier infectious disease hospitals across regions in China. All the participants who initiated DOR-containing ART during August 2021 and September 2023 were included and followed until September 2024.

resultsAt baseline, higher proportions of the 352 participants were male (84.9%), from west region (78.7%), and mean age was 40.0 years. Of the 271 participants with available VL data to confirm the achievement of VS at week 48 ± 8 (271/352), 22.1% were treatment-naïve and 77.9% had prior antiretroviral experience. The adherence rate of DOR in the regimen or DOR/3TC/TDF single tablet was ≥ 80% in 91.5% of participants. Overall, DOR-containing ART achieved a VS rate of 93.7% (95% confidence interval: 90.8%, 96.6%), with rates of 90.0% and 94.8% observed in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced participants, respectively. Notably, among all six treatment-experienced people who were unsuppressed at baseline, 100% of participants were suppressed at week 48 ± 8. DOR-containing ART appeared to be well tolerated among Chinese PWH, with an adverse event profile consistent with that described in product label.

conclusionDOR-containing ART is an effective treatment for Chinese PWH in real-world settings, regardless of their VLs and treatment experience at baseline.
