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

Antiretroviral therapy suppresses replication of HIV allowing restoration and/or preservation of the immune system. Providing combination antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy can treat maternal HIV infection and/or reduce perinatal HIV transmission. However, providing treatment to pregnant women is challenging due to physiological changes that can alter antiretroviral pharmacokinetics. Suboptimal drug exposure can result in HIV RNA rebound, the selection of resistant virus or an increased risk of HIV-1 transmission to the infant. Increased drug exposure can produce unwarranted maternal adverse effects and/or fetal toxicity. Subsequently, dose adjustments may be necessary during pregnancy to achieve comparable antiretroviral exposure to non-pregnant adults. For several antiretrovirals, systemic exposure is decreased during the last trimester of pregnancy. By 6-12 weeks postpartum, concentrations return to those prior to pregnancy. Also, the extent of antiretroviral placental transfer to the fetus and degree of antiretroviral excretion into breast milk varies within, and between, antiretroviral drug classes. It is necessary to consider the pharmacological characteristics of each antiretroviral when optimizing combination therapy during pregnancy to treat maternal HIV infection and prevent perinatal HIV transmission.
