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

Conventional antiretroviral therapy involves administration of standard fixed doses to adults and adolescents. This approach ignores interindividual variability in pharmacokinetics and results in substantial differences in systemic concentrations among patients. Thus, variability in systemic concentrations contributes to variability in response to therapy. This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a regimen of zidovudine, lamivudine, and indinavir designed to achieve select target concentrations versus standard dose therapy. Twenty-four antiretroviral-naïve subjects completed the 24-week study; 13 received standard therapy, and 11 received concentration-controlled therapy. There were no differences in baseline characteristics. Oral clearance for all three drugs was not different between weeks 2 and 28; average ratios of week 2 oral clearance to week 28 oral clearance were 0.95, 1.09, and 1.06 for zidovudine, lamivudine, and indinavir, respectively, with 95% confidence intervals including 1. The selected target concentrations were average steady-state concentrations of 0.19 mg/liter for zidovudine and 0.44 mg/liter for lamivudine and a trough concentration of 0.15 mg/liter for indinavir; mean concentrations achieved at week 28 in the concentration-controlled arm were 0.20, 0.54, and 0.19 mg/liter, respectively. Concentration-controlled therapy significantly reduced interpatient variability in zidovudine concentrations and significantly increased indinavir concentrations. There was no difference in adverse drug effects or adherence. This investigation has provided a pharmacologic basis for concentration-controlled therapy by demonstrating that it is feasible and has a safety profile no different from that of standard therapy. Additional studies to evaluate the virologic effect of the concentration-controlled approach to antiretroviral therapy are warranted.
