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

backgroundPrevious studies have demonstrated the presence of autonomic dysfunction in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. However, the data in those receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) are conflicting. The aim of this study was to assess the autonomic function using heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) analysis in HIV-infected patients receiving cART.

methodsEighty-one HIV-infected patients receiving cART and 42 control subjects were enrolled in the study. The HRV and HRT parameters were assessed on 24-hour digital Holter electrocardiogram recordings.

resultsBaseline characteristics were comparable between HIV-infected and control subjects, except the higher fasting glucose and triglyceride and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol observed in HIV-infected patients. All components of HRV were significantly reduced in HIV-infected patients. After adjustment with biochemical parameters, most of the HRV parameters were still significantly reduced in HIV-infected patients. However, HRV parameters reflecting vagal activity were no longer different between 2 groups. In addition, HRT parameters did not differ between HIV-infected and control subjects. The standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals significantly correlated with CD4 lymphocyte counts in HIV-infected patients but did not with protease inhibitors therapy.

conclusionsWe demonstrated the overall decrease in HRV in HIV-infected patients receiving cART. The metabolic disturbance observed in HIV-infected patients possibly accounted for decreased vagal activity.
