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

objectivesInitial HIV cure interventions may not meet expert-defined target product profiles (TPPs; desired treatment attributes). Understanding how people with HIV perceive ideal and likely HIV cure attributes is essential. This study examined which optimal TPP attributes people with HIV consider important and which minimum attributes and strategies they find acceptable. Additionally, it explored patterns of importance and their association with the acceptance of minimum attributes and cure strategies.

methodsA cross-sectional survey (July 2023-March 2024) among 420 people with HIV assessed the importance of eight optimal attributes, the acceptability of fifteen minimum attributes, and five prominent cure strategies. Latent class analysis identified groups of people with different patterns of importance ratings.

resultsOptimal HIV cure attributes most frequently endorsed as important were 'no HIV transmission risk' (76.4%), 'immune system recovery' (66.4%), and 'protection from reinfection' (63.8%). Twelve of fifteen minimum attributes and all cure strategies were acceptable (mean > 3). Four latent classes of importance ratings emerged: exacting (N = 129, 30.7%; all attributes important), ambivalent (N = 121, 28.8%; neutral ratings), indifferent (N = 28, 6.7%; most attributes unimportant/neutral), and selective (N = 142, 35.2%; most attributes important except cure regimen-related factors). ANOVAs showed that participants with ambivalent importance patterns were less accepting of minimum attributes and strategies, while participants with indifferent importance patterns were more accepting of unacceptable minimum attributes.

conclusionsPeople with HIV in the Netherlands find most HIV cure interventions acceptable, even if they do not meet optimal TPPs. However, perspectives differ across subgroups.
