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

objectivesThe protease inhibitor atazanavir (ATV) can be used either boosted by ritonavir (ATV300/r) or unboosted (ATV400). To date, however, genotypic resistance scores (GRSs) have been developed only for boosted-ATV. We have determined GRS associated with virologic response (VR) for both ATV300/r and ATV400 in highly pre-treated HIV-1 infected patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe analyzed the results of genotypic tests available 0-3 months before the initiation of an ATV-containing regimen in 159 patients with HIV-RNA >or= 500 copies/ml (ATV300/r group: 74; ATV400 group: 85) who were enrolled in the CARe study through an Early Access Program. The impact of baseline protease mutations on VR (>or= 1 log(10)copies/ml HIV-RNA decrease at 12-24 weeks) was analyzed using Fisher's exact test. Mutated protease amino acid positions (MPP) with p < 0.20 were retained for further analysis. The GRSs were determined by a step-by-step analysis using the chi(2) test for trend.

resultsThe GRSs for ATV300/r and ATV400 revealed differing sets of mutations. For ATV300/r, 12 MPPs (10C/I/V + 32I + 34Q + 46I/L + 53L + 54A/M/V + 82A/F/I/T + 84V + 90M - 15E/G/L/V - 69K/M/N/Q/R/T/Y - 72M/ T/V; p = 1.38 x 10(-9)) were the most strongly associated with VR (VR: 100%, 78.3%, 83.3%, 75% and 0% of patients with a score of -2/-1, 0, 1, 2, and >or= 3, respectively); the last three MPPs (I15/H69/I72) were associated with a better VR. For ATV400, nine MPPs (16E + 20I/M/R/T/V + 32I + 33F/I/V + 53L/Y + 64L/M/ V + 71I/T/V + 85V + 93L/M; p = 9.42 x 10(-8)) were most strongly associated with VR (VR: 83.3%, 66.7%, 5.9%, 0% of patients with 0, 1/2, 3, and >or= 4 MPP, respectively). Differences between GRSs for ATV300/r and ATV400 may be due to different ATV drug levels (boosted vs unboosted), favoring different pathways of escape from antiviral pressure.

conclusionsBoth GRSs were independent predictors of response in a multivariable logistic regression model. Nevertheless, cross-validation of these GRSs on different patient databases is required before their implementation in clinical practice.
