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

People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) receiving integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) have been reported to experience virological failure in the absence of resistance mutations in integrase. To elucidate INSTI resistance mechanisms, we propagated HIV-1 in the presence of escalating concentrations of the INSTI dolutegravir. HIV-1 became resistant to dolutegravir by sequentially acquiring mutations in the envelope glycoprotein (Env) and the nucleocapsid protein. The selected Env mutations enhance the ability of the virus to spread via cell-cell transfer, thereby increasing the multiplicity of infection (MOI). While the selected Env mutations confer broad resistance to multiple classes of antiretrovirals, the fold resistance is ~2 logs higher for INSTIs than for other classes of drugs. We demonstrate that INSTIs are more readily overwhelmed by high MOI than other classes of antiretrovirals. Our findings advance the understanding of how HIV-1 can evolve resistance to antiretrovirals, including the potent INSTIs, in the absence of drug-target gene mutations.
