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

backgroundThis study aimed to clarify whether resistance detected in HIV-1 DNA might evolve in virologically suppressed highly treatment-experienced (HTE) individuals with multidrug resistance (MDR).

methodsTwenty-three virologically suppressed HTE MDR individuals from the PRESTIGIO Registry with two longitudinal samples available under virological suppression at two different time points (T0-T1) were analysed. HIV-1 DNA levels were quantified using droplet digital PCR, and resistance was assessed through next-generation sequencing (NGS) set at 5%. Mutational load was also evaluated.

resultsAt T0, individuals had been virologically suppressed for a median time of 3 years (IQR 3-5) under a salvage regimen, mostly containing dolutegravir (95.7%) and/or darunavir (69.6%). The median HIV-1 DNA level was 2588 copies/106 CD4+ cells at T0 and remained stable at T1 (2322 copies/106 CD4+ cells; P = 0.831). Individuals with at least ≥3-class resistance in HIV-1 DNA were 20 (87.0%) at T0 and 18 (78.2%) at T1 (P = 0.607). In those receiving NNRTI-sparing treatment (52.2%), the number of NNRTI major resistance mutation (MRM) significantly decreased over time (T0, 2 [1-3]; T1, 0 [0-1]; P = 0.027). No significant temporal differences in the number of PI, NRTI and integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) MRM were found. Specific MRM, such as M184V, decreased over time, particularly in individuals who were receiving a 3TC-/FTC-sparing salvage regimen or with a T0 mutational load of <1000 copies/106 CD4+ cells.

conclusionsOver a year, HIV-1 DNA MRM generally remained unchanged in suppressed HTE MDR people with HIV (PWH) except for a significant decline in M184V and a reduction of NNRTI resistance in the absence of NNRTI pressure.
