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

Raltegravir (Isentress), an integrase inhibitor, inhibits the insertion of HIV-1 complementary DNA into the host genome. It is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral therapy (ART) agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in treatment-experienced adult patients who have evidence of viral replication and HIV-1 strains resistant to multiple ART agents. It is the first of a new class of ART agents to be approved that, as a result of a different mechanism of action to other ART agents, has good activity against multidrug-resistant HIV-1 strains. In clinical trials in treatment-experienced patients with HIV-1 infection and evidence of viral replication, the addition of oral raltegravir to an optimized background therapy (OBT) regimen improved virological and immunological responses at 16 and 48 weeks to a greater extent than placebo plus OBT. Raltegravir therapy was generally well tolerated, with a similar incidence of mild to moderate adverse events in the treatment and placebo arms. The introduction of integrase inhibitors extends the options available for managing treatment-experienced patients with multiple-drug-resistant HIV-1 infection. Results to date suggest that the combination of raltegravir and OBT will be a valuable treatment option for this difficult-to-treat patient group.
