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

Long-acting (LA) extended-release formulations are revolutionizing treatment and prevention of HIV infection. However, none of the existing LA therapies are active against hepatitis B virus (HBV), a common coinfection with HIV. Managing coinfection requires therapy to be effective against both viruses. Notable candidates are tenofovir (TFV) prodrugs. We have previously developed an LA TFV through a modified lipophilic ProTide strategy. Given the process chemistry challenges presented by amino acid chiral centers in ProTides, a simplified lipophilic amino acid-free crystalline phosphonate prodrug of TFV (M5TFV) has been created. Intramuscular injections of M5TFV nanosuspension (NM5TFV) were well tolerated in Sprague-Dawley rats and HBV transgenic mice. Notably, single doses at 200 and 400 milligrams per kilogram TFV equivalents produced >2.5 log
