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

BackgroundThis study assessed treatment outcomes, medication adherence, and associated factors among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients receiving dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia.MethodsA hospital-based retrospective study was conducted from February to May 2024 using medical records of patients treated between 2018 and 2020. A total of 425 records were selected through random sampling. Sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment-related data were collected using a structured tool and analyzed with SPSS.ResultsAmong participants, 58.8% were female, and 76.0% were aged 31 to 60 years. Overall, medication adherence was 85.7%, and viral load suppression was achieved in 99.8% of patients. All patients were screened for tuberculosis, and 60% received isoniazid preventive therapy. Adherence was significantly associated with World Health Organization clinical stage, follow-up status, advanced HIV disease, and antiretroviral dose days.ConclusionDolutegravir-based ART showed excellent virologic outcomes and high adherence levels, highlighting key factors influencing treatment success.
