Role of multivitamins, micronutrients and probiotics supplementation in management of HIV infected children.
Trial report in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo assess the immuno-clinical response of micronutrients supplementation in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected children (both on and without antiretroviral therapy) and to assess the role of probiotics in improvement of CD4 counts in HIV infected children not on antiretroviral therapy.
methodsThis was an open labeled randomized control study, conducted in Department of Pediatrics and Antiretrovial Therapy (ART) Center, S.N. Medical College, Agra. One hundred and twenty seven HIV infected children aged ≤ 15 y were included in the study. Enrolled children were randomized to receive micronutrients for 6 mo or probiotics for 3 mo. Children who did not receive supplements served as control. Change in WHO clinical stage, immunological stage, CD4 counts and body mass index (BMI) status were taken at the end of 6 mo. In probiotic group, mean CD4 count were taken as outcome measure. A detailed history, examination and WHO clinical staging were recorded for all the patients.
resultsIn micronutrient supplemented group (not on ART), significant improvement was seen in WHO clinical staging (p = 0.049) when compared to controls after 6 mo. Probiotic supplemented group showed significant increase in CD4 counts compared to control group (p = 0.0022) in children >5 y. Control group showed significant decline in CD4 count in children ≤5 y (-65.3 cells/mm(3), p=0.005) and in children >5 y (-87.9 cells/mm(3), p=0.05) after 12 wk of supplementation.
conclusionsProbiotics supplementation has shown significant improvement in CD4 counts. Micronutrients supplementation has shown significant delay in the progression towards advance stage of disease.
