Genotype-guided antiretroviral regimens in children with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection.
Article in Pediatric research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundGenotyping tests were developed to attenuate the impact of viral resistance. Information about the efficacy in genotype base antiretroviral therapy in children is rare and even more in low- and middle-income countries.
methodsSixteen children with antiretroviral therapy (ART) failure and triple-class drug-resistant viruses were included in this study. Protease and retrotranscriptase genotypes were available for all patients. Switch of ART regimen was guided by genotyping data. The primary end point was virological suppression (<50 copies/ml) and immunological improvement after 48 wk of treatment with the new ART regimen.
resultsThe median age of the patients was 14.5 y (interquartile range (IQR) 11-16.5). Median HIV-1 RNA viral load was 4.2 log10 (IQR: 3.4-4.8). The primary end point was found in 11 children (69%), and 13 children (81%) had an HIV-1 RNA viral load <200 copies/ml. Median (IQR) for the baseline CD4(+) cell count was 382 cells/μl (281-686 cells/μl), whereas after 48 wk of treatment with the new ART regimen, it was 640 cells/μl (361-936 cells/μl) (P < 0.001).
conclusionDarunavir/ritonavir, raltegravir, and etravirine were well tolerated in the present pediatric population. These drugs provide good options for children exposed to extensive ART. Regimens guided by genotyping data were effective for children who had ART failure and multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection.
