Antiretroviral therapy in people with HIV and end-stage kidney disease.
Article in AIDS (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
objectiveTo summarize antiretroviral therapy (ART) use in the setting of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
designCross-sectional analysis.
methodsDescriptive analysis of ART regimens and dose of nucleoside/nucleotide reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) in people with HIV and ESKD [dialysis, kidney transplantation, or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <15 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ] receiving HIV and renal care at five London centres. Exposures of interest were use of dual/unboosted ART regimens and higher than recommended doses of renally cleared NRTI.
resultsA total of 157 participants were included (median age 55 years, 66% men, 84% black ethnicity, median CD4 + cell count 382 cells/μl, 99% HIV RNA <200 copies/ml). Fifty-eight (37%) were on dual/unboosted ART regimens, mainly dolutegravir/lamivudine. Participants on dual/unboosted ART had similar rates of HIV suppression as those on triple ART. Two participants currently virologically controlled on triple-ART had previously failed to suppress on dual/unboosted ART [dolutegravir/rilpivirine and dolutegravir/lamivudine (50 mg)]. Lamivudine doses were higher than recommended in 75 (77%) and lower than recommended in 8 (8%) participants. Full-dose lamivudine (300 mg daily) was used by 24 (32%) participants with eGFR less than 30 ml/min/1.73m 2 . None of those currently on reduced-dose lamivudine had required dose reductions for previous toxicity concerns.
conclusionDual/unboosted ART regimens, such as dolutegravir/lamivudine, provide robust viral efficacy in the setting of ESKD, and higher than recommended, including full-dose, lamivudine was well tolerated. The dolutegravir/lamivudine (300 mg) fixed-dose combination provides a single-tablet regimen for use across the eGFR spectrum, avoids under-exposure to lamivudine, and merits further evaluation in this population.
