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

purpose of reviewThis review aims to summarize recently published peer reviewed papers on the influence of treatment with Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors (InSTI) in people with HIV (HIV) on metabolic health, including weight gain, lipid parameters, glucose homeostasis, and bone health. RECENT

findingsInSTI have a mild/moderate effect on weight gain in both antiretroviral (ART) naïve and ART experienced PWH, which is more pronounced in certain groups (i.e. women, people of Black African ethnicity, those with lower socioeconomic status, and older people). The effect on weight is also driven by other components of the ART regimen as well as previous exposure to certain ART. InSTI have a relatively safe profile in terms of lipid parameters and bone health, compared to other ART classes, although some studies suggest a greater risk of insulin resistance and diabetes in PWH using InSTI, especially 2nd generation InSTI. While there is some evidence suggesting a negative impact of InSTI on some aspects of metabolic health (weight gain and glucose homeostasis), they remain the preferred treatment option for most PWH, due to their high efficacy and tolerability. However, an individualised approach to ART choice in PWH should be used in order to avoid negative outcomes in populations at higher risks of metabolic complications.
