A Stable Switch From Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (B/FTC/TAF) to Dolutegravir/Lamivudine (DTG/3TC) in the Absence of Historical Resistance Records: Results From the Switch to Dovato in Patients Suppressed on Biktarvy (SOUND) Cohort.

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
objectiveThis article aims to examine the safety and efficacy of switching from bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/FTC/TAF) to dolutegravir and lamivudine (DTG/3TC) in the absence of prior resistance records.
designSwitch to Dovato in patients suppressed on Biktarvy (SOUND) is an open-label, single-arm, pilot study of adult people with HIV who were virologically suppressed (HIV-1 <50 copies/mL) on B/FTC/TAF for >24 weeks, and switched to DTG/3TC in the absence of available resistance records.
methodsThe primary endpoint was the percentage of participants with HIV viral load (VL) ≥50 c/mL at week 48. Secondary endpoints at weeks 48 and 96 included the percentage of participants with HIV-VL <50 c/mL, incidence and severity of adverse events, laboratory abnormalities, change in baseline CD4 cell count, and retrospective proviral DNA resistance testing on banked baseline samples.
resultsOf the 40 individuals enrolled, 0% had VL ≥50 c/mL at week 48. No participants discontinued due to laboratory abnormalities or safety-related concerns. Three participants withdrew from the study while virologically suppressed. Among the 32 baseline samples available for retrospective proviral DNA resistance testing, six (19%) had nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance-associated mutations (RAMs), all with M184V. Two (6%) participants had integrase strand transfer inhibitor RAMs at baseline (S147S/G and Q148Q/R); neither conferred resistance to DTG. Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and protease inhibitor RAMs were observed in eight (25%) and three (9%) participants, respectively. A significant decrease in weight was observed over the study period.
conclusionsResults from SOUND support the efficacy and safety of switching to DTG/3TC for people living with HIV-1 who are virologically suppressed on B/FTC/TAF with unknown resistance history and may confer a weight advantage.
