Treating women with HIV: is it different than treating men?
Article in Current HIV/AIDS reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
While antiretroviral therapy (ART) has had a tremendous impact on the morbidity and mortality of patients with HIV, there is evidence that many HIV-infected women experience treatment challenges that are different from men and these challenges are often associated with poorer outcomes. In the United States, blacks and Latino women are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic related to lack of access to high-quality HIV care, and socioeconomic factors. In Africa and Asia, HIV infection in women is affected by gender norms that often leave women dependent upon men (either emotionally or financially) and vulnerable in relationships. These gender norms and, in some cases, fears of violence make it difficult for women to refuse unprotected sex, and can contribute to higher infection rates in women and delayed entry to care. Many African migrants in Europe and Australia may feel stigmatized and fear discrimination when accessing care. As a consequence, despite the availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy, women with HIV often have delayed entry into care and experience poor outcomes. With the notable exception of treatment during pregnancy, there is little in the published literature to suggest that the treatment of choice for treatment-naïve patients should be determined by the patient's sex. While virologic efficacy of ART may be similar in large clinical trials, differences in the frequency of treatment-related side effects and the impact of pregnancy and/or child-bearing status on treatment choice is well documented. In this paper we aim to discuss antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected women, the sex-specific barriers to starting care, the differences in outcomes, and complications.
