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

The HIV epidemic in the United States continues to affect racial/ethnic minorities disproportionately and is increasing among men who have sex with men. Late HIV diagnosis remains common. To reduce HIV transmission and facilitate early linkage to care and antiretroviral treatment, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends universal voluntary HIV screening for all persons ages 13 to 64 years in public and private care settings. Recent studies demonstrate dramatic reductions in morbidity and mortality with widespread use of highly active combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), and some document improved outcomes when cART is initiated with CD4 cell count >/= 350 cells/mm(3). As patients live longer, they are increasingly affected by chronic diseases, notably cardiovascular and renal disease, diabetes, and non-AIDS-defining cancers. Providers should ensure patients undertake preventive lifestyle changes (eg, smoking cessation, exercise, weight loss, dietary modification) and undergo recommended screening tests to reduce their risk for these important comorbidities.
