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

Long Acting Injectable (LAI) therapy to treat HIV is an alternative to daily oral medications. The success of early roll-out of LAI to eligible patients requires a better understanding of patients' awareness and interest in this novel therapy. We administered an electronic survey to patients attending an urban HIV clinic in the US South. Eligible participants were 18 + years old with a most recent HIV-1 viral load < 200 copies/ml, without any evidence of genotypic resistance to LAI components or chronic hepatitis B. Survey recipients were asked about current treatment, engagement in care, and knowledge of LAI. Between January-April 2023, 480 patients were screened; 319 were eligible, and 155 (49%) completed the survey. The majority (119, 77%) were aware of, and 87 (56%) were interested in LAI. In regression analysis, only age was associated with interest in LAI (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.92,0.99). Among proposed benefits of injectables, ease of travel without pills, lack of daily pill-taking, and fewer medication interactions were most appealing. Among proposed concerns with injectables, higher cost and insurance coverage of the new medicine were most worrisome. A large majority of people with HIV (PWH) are aware of the newest treatment available, and just over half of our sample expressed interest in LAI. Older age was associated with lower interest in LAI. LAI is appealing for its convenience, privacy, and avoidance of drug interactions, while the increased costs associated with LAI need to be addressed.
