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

objectivesDoravirine (DOR)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been shown in clinical trials to be effective and well tolerated in treating HIV-1. The EffectiVeness of SwItChing to DORavirine-based Antiretroviral Therapy (VICDOR) study characterized the use, effectiveness and impact on body weight and lipids of DOR-based ART in a virologically suppressed switch population using real-world data from Germany.

methodsVICDOR was a multicentre, retrospective chart review study of virologically suppressed adults with HIV in Germany who switched to DOR-based ART between January 2019 and February 2021. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected up to 15 months after the switch.

resultsA total of 193 individuals were included, with a median age of 49 years (range = 21-78), 85.0% were male, 23.8% were obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m

conclusionsDOR-based ART is effective in maintaining virological suppression without evidence of ART-related weight increase in a switch population of individuals with a high prevalence of comorbidities.
