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.

Abstract

Islatravir is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor in development for the treatment of HIV-1. People living with HIV-1 receiving methadone maintenance therapy may benefit from islatravir. This study was designed to evaluate single-dose islatravir on steady-state methadone pharmacokinetics. A nonrandomized, open-label study (NCT04568603) was conducted and included adult participants receiving methadone therapy. Participants received their standard methadone therapy and a single oral dose of islatravir 60 mg concomitantly. Blood samples were collected to determine methadone and islatravir pharmacokinetics. Fourteen participants aged 26-63 years were enrolled; 13 completed the study. The geometric mean ratios for methadone area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to 24 hours (AUC
