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

Real-world data on HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) after transitioning to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/lamivudine/dolutegravir (TLD) are limited. We assessed HIVDR rates and patterns in clients with virological failure (VF) after switching from an NNRTI-based regimen to TLD. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Gaza, Mozambique (August 2021-February 2022), including adults on first-line ART for ≥12 months who transitioned to TLD and had unsuppressed viral load (VL) ≥ 1000 copies/mL six months post-transition. After three adherence counseling sessions, participants with VF underwent genotyping for drug resistance mutations (DRMs) using the Stanford HIVdb Program. Of 717 participants (median age 39.2 years, 70.7% female), 217 (30.2%) had VF, 193 (88.9%) underwent genotyping, with 183 (94.8%) successfully genotyped. Intermediate-high dolutegravir (DTG) resistance was found in 19.6% (36/183). Unsuppressed VL before DTG transition was independently associated with VF (aOR: 2.14). Resistance patterns included 33.3% (12/36; 95% CI: 14.6-46.3) to all three TLD drugs, 55.6% (20/36; 95% CI: 39.3-71.9) to DTG and 3TC, and 11% (4/36; 95% CI: 0.8-21.3) to DTG only. Major drug resistance mutations to DTG included G118R (9.3%), R263K (6.6%), and Q148H/R/K (4.4%). This study highlights the need to consider virologic status before transitioning PLHIV to TLD and suggests that adherence counseling may not prevent resistance in those with unknown or prior VF.
