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: This study aimed to assess the immunological efficacy and the impact on weight of dolutegravir (DTG)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen in ART-naive people living with HIV (PLWH). Methods: A prospective study was conducted on ART-naïve PLWH who treated with DTG-based or efavirenz (EFV)-based regimens in The Second Hospital of Nanjing. Based on previous studies, the sample size was 332 patients calculated by PASS software. Considering a 20% dropout rate, the expected sample size was 416 patients, which were 208 patients in the DTG and EFV groups, respectively. Results: Among 416 enrolled participants, the median age was 30.0 years (25.0-43.0), 388 (93.3%) males. At baseline, patients in the DTG group had worse pre-treatment immune level, but with no significant difference in weight compared to the EFV group. After 12 months of follow-up, the CD4+ T-cell counts increased greater in the DTG group ( Conclusion: After 12 months of follow-up, the increase in CD4+ T-cell counts was higher in the DTG group than in the EFV group, but the overall immunological efficacy was similar in both groups. However, attention should be paid to patients' weight, especially in patients with high baseline viral load and low CD4+ T-cell counts who were treated with the DTG-based regimen.
