When to Start Antiretroviral Therapy and What to Start With-- A European Perspective.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Although antiretroviral combination therapy has greatly improved the life expectancy of HIV-infected individuals, its use is hampered by considerable toxicity, the need for life-long near-perfect adherence to strict dosing regimens in order to avoid the emergence of drug resistance, and high cost. In this paper we review current understanding of when to best initiate antiretroviral therapy and what regimen to start with. The limitations of antiretroviral combination therapy are increasingly clear, and this has led to the current tendency to delay the initiation of therapy until CD4 cell counts have consistently dropped toward the 200 cells/mm(3 )mark, or until plasma HIV-1 RNA has increased to above 100,000 copies/mL. The need for optimal adherence also implies a "readiness" on the part of the patient to start treatment. Once the decision to commence therapy has been reached, what particular combinations of drugs to start with increasingly demands an individualized approach.
