Design and implementation of a cohort study of persons living with HIV infection who are initiating medication treatment for opioid use disorder to evaluate HIV-1 persistence.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundOpioid use disorder (OUD) negatively impacts the HIV continuum of care for persons living with HIV (PLH). Medication treatment for OUD (MOUD) may have differential biological effects in individuals with HIV and OUD. To understand the role of MOUD - opioid agonist methadone, partial agonist buprenorphine and antagonist naltrexone - in HIV-1 persistence and reactivation, we will use molecular virology approaches to carry out the first prospective, longitudinal studies of adults living with HIV with OUD initiating MOUD. One of the major challenges to studying the impact of MOUD on HIV persistence is the low retention rate of study participants and the requirement of large-volume blood sampling to study the HIV proviral landscape and expression profiles.
methodsA prospective cohort study is underway to study the HIV-1 expression, proviral landscape, and clonal expansion dynamics using limited blood sampling from persons with DSM-5 diagnosed OUD who are living with HIV infection and initiating treatment with methadone, buprenorphine, or extended-release naltrexone.
resultsWe describe the recruitment, laboratory, and statistical methods of this study as well as the protocol details of this on-going study. Out of the 510 screened for enrollment into the study, 35 (7%) were eligible and 27 were enrolled thus far. Retention through month 3 has been high at 95%.
conclusionsThis on-going study is evaluating the impact of MOUD on HIV persistence at the molecular virology level using limited blood sampling via a prospective, longitudinal study of people living with HIV DSM-5 OUD initiating treatment with MOUD.
