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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesLiver transplantation is now considered a safe procedure in patients with HIV because of the advent of potent antiretroviral therapies (ART).

objectiveWe aimed to describe the use of dolutegravir-based maintenance ART in patients with HIV and liver transplant regularly followed in our hospital.

methodsWe searched the database of our Department of Infectious Diseases for liver transplant recipients receiving calcineurin inhibitor-based maintenance immunosuppression concomitantly treated with dolutegravir for at least 1 month.

resultsTen HIV-positive liver transplant recipients were identified. At 4.6 ± 3.5 years post-transplant, all the patients were switched to dolutegravir-based therapies for treatment simplification. However, at 1 year after the switch, five of the ten patients returned to their previous ART regimens because of increased serum transaminases (n = 1), reversible increased serum creatinine (n = 4), repeated episodes of nausea/vomiting (n = 1) and variable out-of-range concentrations of tacrolimus or cyclosporine (n = 2). However, it should be recognized that these events cannot be unequivocally ascribed to dolutegravir and, in the case of increased serum creatinine, are predictable.

conclusionsThe management of HIV-positive liver transplant recipients in clinical practice is a complex task, where possibility of simplifying antiretroviral regimens must be balanced with the need to guarantee optimal immunosuppression and the finest treatment tolerability. A multidisciplinary approach involving physicians and clinical pharmacologists/pharmacists could help achieve this goal.
