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

backgroundData on the use of dolutegravir (DTG) plus boosted darunavir (DRV/b) in people with 4-class drug-resistant HIV (4DR-PWH) are limited. This study assessed the virological effectiveness of DTG + DRV/b in this population using real-world data from the PRESTIGIO Registry.

methodsWe compared three regimen groups: dual DTG + DRV/b (DODA), DTG + DRV/b plus an additional antiretroviral drug (DODA + Other), and regimens excluding DTG + DRV/b (NO-DODA). Virological failure (VF) was defined as ≥2 HIV-RNA values ≥ 50 copies/mL or 1 ≥ 1000 copies/mL. Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to assess VF, adjusting for antiretroviral therapy (ART) duration, age, number of fully active drugs, sex at birth, and nadir CD4+. Individuals could switch regimens during follow-up.

resultsAmong 249 4DR-PWH (median follow-up: 8.7 years), 844 ART regimens were analyzed: 72 (8.5%) DODA, 264 (31.3%) DODA + Other, and 508 (60.2%) NO-DODA. Compared to NO-DODA, the odds of VF were 77% and 35.9% lower with DODA and DODA + Other, respectively. Notably, in the DODA group, DTG and DRV/b were fully active in only 63.9% and 47.2% of the cases, respectively.

conclusionsDTG + DRV/b regimens were associated with a significantly lower risk of virological failure, even when drug activity was partial. This strategy remains a valuable option for managing multi-drug-resistant HIV.
