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

introductionDolutegravir (DTG) plus lamivudine (3TC) is one of the preferred treatment regimens for HIV, yet evidence remains limited for people living with HIV (PLWH) with high baseline viral load. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of DTG/3TC in treatment-naive PLWH with baseline viral load > 500,000 copies/mL in China.

methodsIn this real-world multicenter cohort study, PLWH with baseline viral load (VL) > 500,000 copies/mL who initiated DTG/3TC were recruited across 18 clinical sites in China. Matched participants from the same sites with lower baseline VL were also included as a control group. Participants were followed for 48 weeks. The primary endpoint was virological suppression (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) at week 48 using the US Food and Drug Administration snapshot algorithm.

resultsOf the 375 PLWH enrolled, 150 were classified into the high VL group and 225 into the low VL group. Baseline median HIV-1 RNA was 5.99 and 5.07 log

conclusionsDTG/3TC showed favorable virological and safety outcomes in treatment-naive PLWH with baseline HIV-1 RNA > 500,000 copies/mL, suggesting that it may be a viable option for PLWH with high baseline viral load.
