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

Lenacapavir, a first in class long-acting capsid inhibitor has near 100% efficacy in preventing HIV. As such, it has the potential to curb the rising HIV incidence in Latin America, a region with stark intra- and inter-country PrEP uptake disparities. In this viewpoint, we summarize the current efforts to scale up lenacapavir access globally and the necessary steps to include Latin America in these endeavours.
