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

A treatment-experienced, highly adherent person living with HIV for over 25 years developed resistance mutations against all four major ART classes, including bictegravir (BIC). This led to viral failure on a quadruple regimen including BIC and doravirine (DOR). Resistance emergence was associated with M184V, thymidine analog mutations (TAMs), NNRTI mutations (108I, 234I, 318F), and INSTI mutations (T97A, G140S, Q148H, G149A), likely driven by suboptimal BIC levels due to divalent cation interactions. During a two-month ART interruption, the resistant virus was rapidly replaced by an ancient wild-type strain. Despite resistance to all four ART classes, a genotype-adapted salvage regimen, including fostemsavir, achieved viral suppression within seven months.
