Dermatological manifestations in human immunodeficiency virus infected patients: Morphological spectrum with CD4 correlation.
Article in Indian journal of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundMore than 90% of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients develop skin lesions at some time throughout the course of the disease. Several skin diseases have proved to be sensitive and useful indicators of progression of HIV infection. Although these conditions may be seen in general healthy population, their occurrence in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is often atypical, more severe and explosive.
aimsThe present study was carried out to categorize the skin lesions by histopathology using punch biopsy or cytology when feasible in HIV infected patients and to see the correlation for various skin lesions with CD4 counts. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn total 110 known HIV positive patients with the symptomatic skin lesions, cytology and punch biopsy was correlated with CD4 counts.
resultsMaximum patients were between 31 and 40 years. 53 (48.18%) patients had infectious and 37 (34.55%) patients had non-infectious lesions. Out of 110 patients, CD4 counts were available in 70 patients. The spectrum of various non-infectious and infectious lesions such as viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoa and their association with CD4 counts is discussed.
conclusionsCD4 counts below 200 were associated with the maximum infectious lesions, whereas CD4 counts more than 350 showed more of the non-infectious lesions. Most common infectious lesion was Molluscum contagiosum. The most common non-infectious lesion was pruritic papular eruptions.
