Improvements in Patient-Reported Outcomes After 12 Months of Maintenance Therapy With Cabotegravir + Rilpivirine Long-Acting Compared With Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide in the Phase 3b SOLAR Study.

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.

Abstract
SOLAR (NCT04542070; registered 2020-09-09) is a Phase 3b study that demonstrated the noninferior virological efficacy of switching to cabotegravir + rilpivirine long-acting (CAB + RPV LA) dosed every 2 months vs. continuing daily oral bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) over 12 months. Participants were randomised (2:1) to switch to CAB + RPV LA or to continue BIC/FTC/TAF. Patient-reported endpoints included treatment preference, treatment satisfaction (12-item HIV Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire status version), acceptability of injections (Perception of Injection questionnaire [acceptability domain]) and three single-item questions exploring psychological challenges related to HIV treatment (fear of disclosure, adherence-related anxiety and reminder of HIV status). Of 670 participants, 447 participants switched to CAB + RPV LA and 223 continued BIC/FTC/TAF. Overall, 18% were female, median age was 37 years and 31% were non-White. At Month 12, CAB + RPV LA significantly improved treatment satisfaction vs. BIC/FTC/TAF (mean [95% confidence interval (CI)] change: + 3.36 [2.59, 4.13] vs. -1.59 [-2.71, -0.47]; p < 0.001). At Month 12, a higher proportion of CAB + RPV LA arm participants reported improvements across the psychological challenges related to HIV treatment questions compared with BIC/FTC/TAF participants. Participants indicating ≥ 1 psychological challenge at baseline experienced a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in treatment satisfaction after 12 months of CAB + RPV LA vs. continuing BIC/FTC/TAF (adjusted difference [95% CI]: 7.96 [5.65, 10.26]; p < 0.001). Most (90%, 382/425) questionnaire respondents preferred CAB + RPV LA vs. BIC/FTC/TAF (5%, 21/425). Switching to CAB + RPV LA was associated with significantly improved treatment satisfaction and relief from the fear of disclosure, anxiety surrounding adherence and reminder of HIV status.
