Early virologic response to abacavir/lamivudine and tenofovir/emtricitabine during ACTG A5202.
Trial report in HIV clinical trials. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundACTG A5202 randomized treatment-naïve individuals to tenofovir-emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) or abacavir-lamivudine (ABC/3TC) combined with efavirenz (EFV) or atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/r). Individuals in the high screening viral load (VL) stratum (≥100,000 copies/mL) had increased rates of virologic failure with ABC/3TC.
objectiveTo compare regimen-specific early virologic response.
methodsUsing Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, we compared regimen-specific VL changes from entry to week 4 in A5202 subjects (N = 1,813) and from entry to week 1, 2, and 4 in substudy subjects (n = 179). We evaluated associations between week 4 VL change and time to virologic failure with Cox proportional hazards models.
resultsTDF/FTC and ABC/3TC produced similar week 4 VL declines in the entire study population and in the high VL stratum. EFV produced greater VL declines from baseline at week 4 than ATV/r (median -2.1 vs -1.9 log10 copies/mL; P < .001). In the substudy of subjects with week 1, 2, and 4 VL data, there was no difference in VL decline in individuals randomized to TDF/FTC versus ABC/3TC, but EFV resulted in greater VL decline from entry at each of these timepoints than ATV/r. Smaller week 4 VL decline was associated with increased risk of virologic failure.
conclusionsWithin all treatment arms, a less robust week 4 virologic response was associated with higher risk for subsequent virologic failure. However, between-regimen differences in week 4 VL declines did not parallel the previously reported differences in longer term virologic efficacy in A5202, suggesting that between-regimen differences in responses were not due to intrinsic differences in antiviral activity.
