Perivascular fat, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk in HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy.
Trial report in International journal of cardiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHIV-infection is characterized by chronic immune activation that persists despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) and is associated with elevated cardiovascular risk. Whether specific perivascular fat depots are associated with inflammation in HIV is unknown.
methodsIn a cross-sectional study, epicardial (EAT) and thoracic periaortic (TAT) adipose tissue volumes were measured by computed tomography in 100 HIV-infected adults, on stable ART, with LDL-cholesterol ≤130 mg/dL and evidence of heightened T-cell activation (CD8+CD38+HLA-DR+ ≥19%) or increased inflammation (high sensitivity C-reactive protein ≥2 mg/L).
resultsOverall, 77% were males and 70% African American. Mean (standard deviation) age and body mass index were 47 (10) years and 28 (6.4) kg/m(2), respectively. All subjects had HIV-1 RNA <1000 copies/mL with mean (standard deviation) CD4+ T cell count of 665 (280) cells/μL; 50% were on a protease inhibitor. EAT and TAT were correlated with each other (r = 0.766, p < 0.0001). Both were associated with metabolic syndrome, atherogenic lipid profile, insulin resistance, total and central body fat, serum biomarkers of inflammation, and soluble CD163, but not with cellular immune activation markers. In multivariable models that adjusted for age, sex, and other measures of adiposity, both perivascular fat depots were independently associated with the presence of coronary calcium.
conclusionsPerivascular fat is associated with soluble CD163, biomarkers of inflammation, insulin resistance, and subclinical atherosclerosis in this population of virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients on ART. The association of perivascular fat with coronary artery calcification appears to be independent of other measures of adiposity.
