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

backgroundSofosbuvir is converted to its active form, 007 triphosphate (007-TP), within cells. To date, the association between treatment adherence and 007-TP in dried blood spots (DBS) and factors that influence this relationship remain unknown.

objectivesTo examine relationships between adherence and 007-TP concentrations in DBS and identify factors that influence 007-TP in DBS.

methodsPersons with HCV or HIV/HCV coinfection and self-reported drug and/or alcohol use were randomized to one of two technology-based approaches for monitoring 12 week adherence to once-daily ledipasvir/sofosbuvir. Convenience blood samples were collected every 2 weeks during treatment. 007-TP in DBS was quantified using LC/MS and analysed using mixed-effects models.

resultsA total of 337 observations were available from 58 participants (78% male; 21% black; 22% Hispanic/Latino; 26% cirrhotic; 78% HIV-coinfected). The mean half-life of 007-TP in DBS was 142 h (95% CI 127-156) and concentrations increased by 7.3% (95% CI 2.2-12.6) for every 10% increase in between-visit adherence. Geometric mean (95% CI) 007-TP concentrations in DBS were 301 (247-368), 544 (462-639) and 647 (571-723) fmol/punch by adherence categories of ≤50%, >50 to ≤80%, and >80%. Adherence, time on therapy, increasing age and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate were associated with higher 007-TP, whereas increased time since last dose, male sex, black race and higher BMI were associated with lower 007-TP.

conclusions007-TP has an extended half-life in DBS and concentrations increased with adherence. Further research is needed to examine additional factors that affect 007-TP and the clinical utility of this measure.
