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

backgroundDispersible and immediate-release fixed-dose combinations (FDC) of abacavir, dolutegravir, and lamivudine are priority first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in children with HIV-1 (CWHIV). We report safety, efficacy and tolerability of these regimens through 48 weeks of treatment.

methodsIMPAACT 2019 was a phase I/II, international, multisite, open-label, noncomparative study of dispersible and immediate-release FDC abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine (ABC/DTG/3TC) in participants with HIV-1 <12 years of age weighing 6 to <40 kg. At entry, participants were ART-naive or ART-experienced and virally suppressed on stable ART for ≥6 months. Participants received weight-banded dosing and enrolled across 5 weight bands in parallel. Follow-up visits were completed at weeks 1, 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48.

resultsFifty-seven participants were enrolled; 2 participants withdrew due to poor drug tolerability. Fifty-four of 55 participants on the study at week 48 remained on the study drug. All 54 participants who remained on study drug through week 48 had viral loads of <200 copies/mL. CD4-lymphocyte counts remained stable with age over 48 weeks. Mean change (95% confidence interval) in body mass index Z-scores was 0.4 (0.2-0.6). Nine study drug-related adverse events were reported. One drug-induced liver injury attributed to abacavir and dolutegravir led to the permanent discontinuation of the study drug.

conclusionsDispersible FDC ABC/DTG/3TC is the first dispersible dolutegravir-containing single tablet regimen for CWHIV. Dispersible- and immediate-release ABC/DTG/3TC was observed to be generally safe, effective and well-tolerated in CWHIV through 48 weeks.
