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

Dolutegravir-based regimens are part of the preferred regimens in all populations living with HIV, but dolutegravir's pharmacokinetics can vary greatly with factors such as drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and age. For example, DDIs between dolutegravir and rifamycins in countries with a high burden of HIV/tuberculosis co-infection present a major challenge. Attaining therapeutic concentrations is crucial for virologic success and to prevent resistance. Understanding dolutegravir pharmacokinetics and its sources of variability is essential to ensure adequate exposure in all individuals. Population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) modeling is a powerful tool for characterizing medication disposition. In this review, we aim to synthesize existing dolutegravir PopPK models, highlighting key pharmacokinetic parameters and covariate effects. A literature search was done on Medline and Embase databases from inception to November 18th, 2025. This review included 23 studies: 15 in adults, 4 in pediatrics, 2 in pregnancy (mothers and their newborn), and 2 in term neonates. Almost all models included allometric scaling, with body weight especially, on apparent clearance (CL/F) and/or apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) parameters. When considering differences in body size, CL/F and Vd/F were similar across populations. The absorption rate constant (k
