Smoking and HIV-related health issues among older HIV-positive gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.

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
The prevalence of cigarette smoking and the relations between smoking and HIV clinical markers, HIV medication adherence, and opportunistic infections (OIs) were examined in a sample of 199 HIV-positive, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) aged 50 and older. Overall, 35.7% were current smokers, 35.7% were former smokers, and 28.6% were never smokers. In the final multivariable polytomous logistic regression model controlling for age, income, and illicit drug use, current smokers were less likely to report an undetectable viral load as compared to never and former smokers. Relative to never smokers, former smokers were more likely to report respiratory OIs, and current smokers were more likely to report gastrointestinal OIs. This study demonstrates high prevalence of cigarette smoking among aging, HIV-positive MSM and provides additional evidence for a relationship between smoking and poorer HIV clinical markers. Targeted and tailored smoking cessation programs within the context of HIV care services are warranted.
