Geographic location of antiretroviral clinical trials in HIV infected pediatric patients.
Article in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSome medicines regulatory authorities are encouraging research in pediatrics. However, children are a vulnerable population, and previous studies have suggested that research is increasingly being conducted outside of developed countries.
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to determine the location of trials in the pediatric population with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
settingNot applicable.
methodsClinical trials registered in the largest international clinical trials registry (clinicaltrials.gov) evaluating antiretrovirals in pediatric HIV infected patients were included. Data were collected on the location, funding, study purpose, design, initiation date, age of subjects, and medication classes tested.
main outcome measuresWe assessed frequencies of characteristics of pediatric HIV trials registered in the clinicaltrials.gov database.
resultsOverall, 288 studies were included in the analysis. Most trials were conducted in ages 12-17 years (83 %), followed by studies in those <6 years (25 %) and 6-11 years (21 %). The location of most trials included at least one site in developed countries (83 %). The number of trials completed exclusively in developing countries increased from 1989 to 2011.
conclusionsThe majority of pediatric antiretroviral trials registered in clinicaltrials.gov were conducted in adolescent subjects in developed countries. The number of pediatric HIV studies in developing countries increased while studies conducted in developed countries decreased similar to trends of HIV.
