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

Background: There is an unmet need for antiretrovirals with novel mechanisms of action that can provide additional options for people with HIV-1. DOMINO evaluated the efficacy and safety of the maturation inhibitor GSK3640254 (GSK'254) plus two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in adults naive to antiretroviral therapy. Methods: This partially blinded, multicentre phase 2b trial enrolled people with HIV-1 from 54 centres in ten countries (Argentina, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Russian Federation, South Africa, Spain, and the United States). Eligible participants were adults with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥1000 copies/mL and CD4+ T-cell count ≥250 cells/mm Findings: Screenings occurred between November 18, 2020, and January 31, 2022; 161 participants were randomised (sex assigned at birth: 24% female; 76% male). At Week 24, proportions with HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL were 83% (33/40), 91% (39/43), and 76% (32/42) in the GSK'254 100-mg, 150-mg, and 200-mg groups, respectively, vs 92% (33/36) in the DTG group. One participant receiving DTG and eight participants receiving GSK'254 had protocol-defined virologic failure (no resistance detected). All GSK'254 doses were generally well tolerated, with few participants reporting drug-related serious adverse events (GSK'254: 150 mg, 2% [1/43]; 200 mg, 2% [1/42]). Interpretation: GSK'254 plus two NRTIs demonstrated efficacy and safety with no treatment-emergent resistance, consistent with DTG plus two NRTIs, supporting potential further evaluation of maturation inhibitors.
