Efavirenz-Based Antiretroviral Therapy but Not Pregnancy Increased Unbound Piperaquine Exposure in Women during Malaria Chemoprevention.
Article in Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) is highly effective for malaria chemoprevention during pregnancy, but the standard dosing of DP that is used for nonpregnant adults may not be optimal for pregnant women. We previously reported that the pharmacokinetic exposure of total piperaquine (PQ; both bound and unbound to plasma proteins) is reduced significantly in the context of pregnancy or efavirenz (EFV)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, as PQ is >99% protein-bound, reduced protein binding during pregnancy may lead to an increase in the pharmacologically active unbound drug fraction (f
