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

Antiretroviral therapy shortages caused by sudden and severe cuts in USAID and PEPFAR have focused attention on strategies to extend antiretroviral supplies and mitigate this crisis. Efficacy data are now available from seven randomized controlled intermittent triple antiretroviral therapy trials. For countries with urgent drug shortages, this evidence supports intermittent dosing 4-5 days-per-week to extend antiretroviral supplies, with clinical benefits for people living with HIV and continued population benefits of minimizing HIV transmission.
