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

introductionThere have been no prospective clinical studies investigating adherence and tolerability of HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in China. Tolerability, adherence, and transmitted drug resistance are concerns, especially when single-tablet regimen (STR) usage is low. The present study aimed to explore the safety, tolerability, and adherence of regimens containing albuvirtide (ABT) compared with recommended non-STR antiretrovirals for HIV PEP.

methodsThis was a prospective, open-label, multicenter cohort study. The subjects were stratified into 3 groups based on their preference: ABT + Dolutegravir (DTG) (Group 1), ABT + Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) + Lamivudine (3TC) (Group 2), and DTG + TDF + 3TC (Group 3). All enrolled subjects received PEP within 72 h after exposure and continued for 28 days, and were followed-up for 12 weeks.

resultsA total of 330 participants were enrolled in the three groups. Most participants were male (87.2%). Sexual contact was the most frequent mode of exposure (91.9%). The average time from exposure to treatment was 26.8 ± 19.5 h. There were no statistically significant differences between the three study groups with respect to completion of oral medication at 28 days. The 28-day completion rate was shown to be significantly higher with ABT versus oral (88.9% vs. 64.0%; p < 0.0001), and adherence with ABT was 94.4% compared to 75.7% with oral PEP (p < 0.0001). Subjects in ABT-containing Group 1 exhibited higher adherence than those in Group 3 (87.3% vs. 72.9%; p < 0.05). None of the participants reported serious adverse drug reactions which led to withdrawal from the study. All the drug regimens were found to be safe and well tolerated. No HIV incident case was observed during the study period.

conclusionsABT-containing regimens (ABT + DTG or ABT + TDF + 3TC) offer a good option for HIV PEP due to higher completion rates and adherence than the DTG + TDF + 3TC regimen. The overall safety was comparable and acceptable among the three groups. REGISTRATION: The study was registered in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry with registration number (ChiCTR1900022881, http://www.chictr.org.cn/showprojen.aspx?proj=37395 ).
