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 increase in the risk of myocardial infarction can be explained by antiretroviral-induced changes in conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Individual drugs within a drug class vary in their propensity to cause metabolic disturbances, and therefore, further studies are needed to determine the contribution of each drug to cardiovascular risk. A careful stratification of the cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular monitoring of HIV-infected individuals should be performed at baseline and at regular intervals during follow-up for this chronic medical condition. Standard primary and secondary prevention measures should be instituted in accordance with British Guidelines (Heart association, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, etc for lipids, smoking and hypertension) Consideration of cardiovascular risk and drug-drug interactions when prescribing is crucial in the safe and optimum management of these patients. Careful communication between all care providers will help to avoid adverse outcomes.
