Risk factors for recent nonfatal overdose among HIV-infected Russians who inject drugs.
Article in AIDS care, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Overdoses and HIV infection are common among Russians who inject drugs, yet risk factors have not been studied. We analyzed baseline data of 294 participants with 30-day injection drug use from an HIV secondary prevention trial for persons reporting "heavy" alcohol use (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism [NIAAA] risky drinking definition) and risky sex in the past 6 months. The outcome was any self-reported overdose in the previous 3 months. We examined demographic, HIV-related, criminal justice, mental health, substance use, and injection risk factors. Participants' characteristics included median age 29 years, 117/294 (40%) female, and median CD4 cell count 345/µl. Over three quarters 223/294 (76%) reported a history of overdose and 47/294 (16%) reported overdose in the past 3 months. Past month injection frequency (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 4.77, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.63-14.0 highest vs. lowest quartile; AOR 3.58, 95% CI: 1.20-10.69 second highest vs. lowest quartile) and anti-retroviral therapy (ART) at time of interview (AOR 3.96 95% CI: 1.33-11.83) were associated with 3-month overdose. Nonfatal overdose among HIV-infected Russians who inject drugs is common. Risk factors include injection frequency and anti-retroviral therapy (ART), which warrant further study. Overdose prevention efforts are needed among HIV-infected Russians who inject drugs.
