Neuromuscular complications in HIV.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
HIV affects many organs of the body, including the nervous system. As a result, a series of neurologic complications have created challenges for scientists and clinicians alike. Among these, HIV-associated neuropathy and myopathy may occur at all stages of the disease process. Of the neuropathies, distal symmetrical polyneuropathy is the most common form. The pathogenesis of primary HIV neuropathy is unknown. Other types of neuropathy seen in HIV-infected subjects include toxic neuropathy, inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, progressive polyradiculopathy, and mononeuritis multiplex. In this review, we present the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of different types of neuropathy in HIV infection. Myopathy, another complication of HIV, is not associated with any particular stage of immunosuppression. Symptoms include symmetrical weakness of the proximal muscles in the extremities. Serum creatine kinase levels are often moderately elevated. Electromyography and muscle biopsy are helpful tests for diagnosis. Treatment of HIV myopathy includes corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, and intravenous immunoglobulin.
