Managing HIV in the PICU--the experience at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2008. 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
The HIV pandemic has affected children throughout the developing world. This article describes the experience of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. Over the last 20 years we have improved our management of HIV infected children requiring intensive care admission. In the absence of anti-retroviral therapy, long term outcomes from PICU admission of HIV infected children have not improved significantly, and it is debatable whether PICU admission is justified. Once anti-retroviral therapy is available to children, there may be significant improvements in outcome and possible affected children should be admitted to the PICU if resources are available.
