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

objectivesTo evaluate real-world persistence with long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine (CAB+RPV LA) in a nationwide cohort of virologically suppressed adults, describe the main clinical and structural reasons for discontinuation, and identify predictors of early interruption in routine practice.

designAmbispective, multicenter cohort study assessing the durability, safety, adherence, and virological outcomes of CAB+RPV LA implementation across 58 Spanish healthcare settings.

methodsAdults initiating CAB+RPV LA therapy were enrolled using standardized electronic tools. Baseline demographics, comorbidities, HIV and virological variables, and injection timing were recorded. Permanent discontinuations were attributed to systemic adverse events, injection-site reactions, virological failure (VF), or nonclinical causes. The virological endpoints were aligned, although not identical, to the CONSENSUS-LAI criteria. Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox models were used to identify the independent predictors.

resultsAmong 3146 virologically suppressed participants, 199 (6.3%) permanently discontinued therapy over a median 13.8-month follow-up. Discontinuation was more frequent among women (21.6 vs. 14.4%; P = 0.007), foreign-born individuals (42.9 vs. 29.5%; P  < 0.001), those with a higher BMI, and those with shorter prior suppression periods. injection-site reaction- and systemic adverse event-related discontinuations were rare (1.2 and 0.7%, respectively), whereas structural reasons accounted for 3.5%. VF occurred in 20 participants (0.6%). Adjusted analyses showed that age ≥70 years [hazard ratio (HR) 5.41; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.91-15.32] and foreign nationality (HR 2.06; 95% CI 1.48-2.86) independently increased discontinuation risk, whereas male sex (HR 0.65; 95% CI 0.44-0.96) and longer suppression (HR/day 0.99; P  = 0.036) were protective.

conclusionsIn this large national cohort, CAB+RPV LA demonstrated strong persistence, excellent tolerability, and very low rates of VF. Discontinuations were mainly structural, highlighting the need to reinforce continuity-of-care pathways and system-level support for optimal CAB+RPV LA scale-up.
