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

Data on integrase resistance patterns in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is scarce. We assessed genotypic drug resistance in 43 patients with virological failure on integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) containing regimens as part of the third-line treatment program in South Africa. Of the raltegravir (RAL) exposed patients 20/34 (59%) had ≥1 major INSTI mutation, including two (6%) with dolutegravir (DTG) cross-resistance. DTG resistance was detected in one out of four DTG-exposed patients. Replacing RAL with DTG may reduce the risk of INSTI mutations. We recommend DTG drug resistance monitoring when DTG is introduced at a larger scale in LMICs.
