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

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment with antiretroviral regimens containing integrase strand transfer inhibitors such as dolutegravir (DTG) and bictegravir (BIC) offers high levels of protection against the development of drug resistance mutations. Despite this, resistance to DTG and BIC can occur through the development of the R263K integrase substitution. Failure with DTG has also been associated with the emergence of the G118R substitution. G118R and R263K are usually found separately but have been reported together in highly treatment-experienced persons who experienced treatment failure with DTG. We used cell-free strand transfer and DNA binding assays and cell-based infectivity, replicative capacity, and resistance assays to characterize the G118R plus R263K combination of integrase mutations. R263K reduced DTG and BIC susceptibility ~2-fold, in agreement with our previous work. Single-cycle infectivity assays showed that G118R and G118R plus R263K conferred ~10-fold resistance to DTG. G118R alone conferred low levels of resistance to BIC (3.9-fold). However, the G118R plus R263K combination conferred high levels of resistance to BIC (33.7-fold), likely precluding the use of BIC after DTG failure with the G118R plus R263K combination. DNA binding, viral infectivity, and replicative capacity of the double mutant were further impaired, compared to single mutants. We propose that impaired fitness helps to explain the scarcity of the G118R plus R263K combination of integrase substitutions in clinical settings and that immunodeficiency likely contributes to its development.
