Review in Open forum infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Cabotegravir plus rilpivirine long-acting (CAB + RPV-LA) injectable therapy marks a major milestone in HIV care, offering an efficacious, well-tolerated alternative to daily oral antiretroviral treatment. This article reviews data from pivotal trials and observational studies of CAB + RPV-LA, addressing emerging questions and highlighting key research priorities. We examine factors influencing virological outcomes, including issues related to HIV subtype, archived drug resistance, body mass index, and pharmacokinetics, and discuss challenges related to hepatitis B virus immunity and infection, pregnancy, and adherence. We outline strategies to address barriers to implementation, advocating for a tailored approach to maximize the potential of CAB + RPV-LA in improving outcomes across diverse populations with HIV.
