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

backgroundThe HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 083 Trial demonstrated the superiority of long-acting, injectable cabotegravir (CAB) over daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis among cisgender men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) who have sex with men. Plasma CAB concentrations associated with HIV protection in humans are unknown.

methodsWe conducted a nested case-control study to investigate the association between plasma CAB concentrations and HIV risk. Plasma CAB concentrations were estimated for participants with confirmed HIV and for HIV-negative controls, who were matched on region, gender, and race. The window of HIV acquisition for cases was defined as the time between the last HIV-negative visit and the first HIV-positive visit; this window was used to evaluate CAB exposure for cases and their matched controls. Participants were categorized by the minimum estimated CAB concentration (CABmin) during this window relative to the protein-adjusted 90% CAB inhibitory concentration (1× PA-IC90) and 4× PA-IC90. HIV risk was modeled using conditional logistic regression.

resultsPlasma CABmin was ≥4× PA-IC90 in 26% of HIV-positive cases, compared with 76% of matched controls. Plasma CABmin ≥4× PA-IC90 was associated with a 93% reduction in risk of HIV acquisition compared with CABmin <1× PA-IC90 (95% CI: 76%, 98%, P < .001). CABmin between 1× and 4× PA-IC90 had an estimated risk reduction of 79% compared with CABmin <1× PA-IC90 (95% CI: -19%, 96%, P = .07).

conclusionsConsistent plasma CAB concentrations ≥4× PA-IC90 were estimated to provide 93% protection against HIV in MSM and TGW.
