Coronary artery disease in HIV infected patients.
Article in Intensive care medicine, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo assess the incidence, clinical features, treatment, and follow-up of coronary events in HIV-infected patients over a period of 5 years. PATIENTS AND
participantsA cohort of 840 patients. MEASUREMENTS AND
resultsA coronary event occurred in 17 patients (5.9/1000 persons-years). Sixteen of them were exposed to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Patients with coronary events differed in age (48.3 vs. 43 years), CD4 T-cell count (284 vs. 486/mm(3)), total cholesterol (6.2 vs. 5.3 mmol/l), HDL cholesterol (0.72 vs. 1.16 mmol/l), and LDL cholesterol (4.95 vs. 3.391.61 mmol/l). No difference was observed regarding duration of HAART, weight, glucose level, or smoking status between the two groups. Acute coronary syndrome was the first manifestation in 14 patients. Coronary angiography showed 2.56 stenosis per patient, with a single vessel involvement in one-half. Percutaneous angioplasty was performed in all cases, with stenting in 11. After a mean follow-up of 36 months, 14 patients remain alive. Restenosis ( n=4) occurred in 3 patients (PTCA 3; stenting 4). All 14 patients are free of heart failure symptoms. Their mean left ventricular ejection fraction is 61%.
conclusionsA higher coronary-event rate is observed among HIV-infected patients, associated with drug-induced metabolic disturbances and a high prevalence of tobacco smoking. However, treatment and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction has no specificity.
