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

purpose of reviewTwo-drug regimens (2DR) for antiretroviral therapy are increasingly being recommended for people living with HIV to reduce pill burden and reduce short and long-term toxicity. The exclusion of tenofovir and lamivudine or emtricitabine has implications for acquisition of and reactivation of hepatitis B. RECENT

findingsA number of case-series, cohort studies and randomized-controlled trials of 2Drs have reported on the risk of HBV acquisition and HBV-reactivation (HBVr). The risk of HBVr appears negligible in those switching to 2DRs containing lamivudine, and overall low (~1%) in those switching to tenofovir and lamivudine/emtricitabine-free therapy. Even remote HBsAg positivity is associated with a significant risk of HBVr. SUMMARY: For people with HIV switching to 2DRs careful attention needs to be paid to preswitch HBV serological patterns. For those without previous exposure, and absence of HBsAb, vaccination is important. The risk of HBVr of switching to lamivudine-containing regimens is negligible, and low without tenofovir and lamivudine/emtricitabine. Careful monitoring and preswitch counselling is advised.
