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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundAlbuvirtide (ABT), a fusion inhibitor, and 3BNC117, a broadly neutralizing antibody, were evaluated for efficacy and safety in combination with an optimized background regimen (OBR) in adults with multidrug-resistant (MDR) HIV-1.

methodsIn this phase 2 trial conducted in China via an international collaborative screening effort, we enrolled MDR HIV-1 patients with prior treatment failures and baseline viral loads > 1000 copies/mL. After a 6-day control period on existing therapy, participants received 3BNC117 on day 7 and ABT on days 7-9. On day 14, eligible patients were randomized 1:1 to Group A (ABT once weekly and 3BNC117 once every two weeks) or Group B (ABT and 3BNC117 once every two weeks), each with an OBR containing at least one fully active drug, for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was the proportion with ≥ 0.5 log

resultsSixteen patients completed the study. Baseline mean viral load was 4.47 log

conclusionsIn patients with MDR HIV-1 infection who have limited treatment therapeutic options, the combination of ABT+3BNC117 plus an OBR was observed to have significant antiviral activity during a 34-week study period.
