Risk of elevation of serum creatine kinase among HIV-positive individuals receiving dolutegravir-based combination antiretroviral therapy.
Observational study in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We aimed to compare the risks of creatine kinase (CK) elevation between patients receiving dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) and those receiving non-integrase strand transfer inhibitor (InSTI)-based ART.HIV-positive patients seeking HIV outpatient care between February 2017 and March 2018 were retrospectively reviewed to collect information on ART, practices of vigorous exercise, and laboratory tests including CK level, plasma HIV RNA load, and concurrent medications. The incidences of CK elevation were estimated among patients receiving dolutegravir-based ART and those receiving non-InSTI-based ART.During the 14-month study period, 1406 patients (mean age 39.4 years and 96.9% being male) were included. The incidence rate of grade 3 or grade 4 CK elevation (>10-fold of the upper limit of normal) was 2.0 per 100 person-years of follow-up (PYFU) and 1.3 per 100 PYFU in the dolutegravir and non-InSTI group, respectively (P = .32). While dolutegravir group had a higher rate of CK elevation of any level than non-InSTI group (22.9 vs 17.4 per 100 PYFU, P = .01), the risk was associated with weight (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], per 10-kg increase, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.02-1.04), duration of exercise (aOR, per 1-hour increase, 1.02; 95% CI 1.01-1.03), but not with dolutegravir-based ART (aOR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.99-1.06) after adjusting for the testing frequency of serum CK in the multivariate generalized estimating equation model. No patients were hospitalized or switched ART due to CK elevation.Serum CK elevation was associated with weight and duration of exercise among HIV-positive patients receiving ART, but not with dolutegravir-based ART.
