1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 presence of elevated HIV viral load within blood and genital secretions is a critical driver of transmission events. Long-term suppression of viral load to undetectable levels through the use of antiretroviral therapy is now standard practice for clinical management of HIV. Antiretroviral therapy therefore can play a key role as a means to curb HIV transmission. Results of a randomized clinical trial, in conjunction with several observational studies, have now confirmed that antiretroviral therapy markedly decreases HIV transmission risk. Mathematical models and population-based ecologic studies suggest that further expansion of antiretroviral coverage within current guidelines can play a major role in controlling the spread of HIV. Expansion of so-called "Treatment as Prevention" initiatives relies upon maximal uptake of the HIV continuum-of-care cascade to allow for successful identification of those not yet known to be HIV-infected, engagement of patients in appropriate care, and subsequently achieving sustained virologic suppression in patients with the use of antiretroviral therapy. Since 2010, the Joint United Nations AIDS (UNAIDS) program has called for the inclusion of antiretroviral treatment as a key pillar in the global strategy to control the spread of HIV infection. This has now been invigorated by the release of the World Health Organization's 2013 Consolidated Antiretroviral Therapy Guidelines, recommending treatment to be offered to all HIV-infected individuals with CD4 cell counts below 500/mm
