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.

Abstract

backgroundCabotegravir (CAB) + rilpivirine (RPV) dosed intramuscularly monthly or every 2 months is a complete, long-acting (LA) regimen for the maintenance of HIV-1 virologic suppression. Here, we report the antiretroviral therapy as long acting suppression (ATLAS)-2M study week 152 results.

methodsATLAS-2M is a phase 3b, randomized, multicenter study assessing the efficacy and safety of CAB+RPV LA every 8 weeks (Q8W) versus every 4 weeks (Q4W). Virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) individuals were randomized to receive CAB+RPV LA Q8W or Q4W. Endpoints included the proportion of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL and <50 copies/mL, incidence of confirmed virologic failure (CVF; 2 consecutive measurements ≥200 copies/mL), safety, and tolerability.

resultsA total of 1045 participants received CAB+RPV LA (Q8W, n = 522; Q4W, n = 523). CAB+RPV LA Q8W demonstrated noninferior efficacy versus Q4W dosing, with 2.7% (n = 14) and 1.0% (n = 5) of participants having HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL, respectively, with adjusted treatment difference being 1.7% (95% CI: 0.1-3.3%), meeting the 4% noninferiority threshold. At week 152, 87% of participants maintained HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL (Q8W, 87% [n = 456]; Q4W, 86% [n = 449]). Overall, 12 (2.3%) participants in the Q8W arm and 2 (0.4%) in the Q4W arm had CVF. Eight and 10 participants with CVF had treatment-emergent, resistance-associated mutations to RPV and integrase inhibitors, respectively. Safety profiles were comparable, with no new safety signals observed since week 48.

conclusionsThese data demonstrate virologic suppression durability with CAB+RPV LA Q8W or Q4W for ∼3 years and confirm long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of CAB+RPV LA as a complete regimen to maintain HIV-1 virologic suppression.
