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

objectiveTo determine the effect of the introduction of combination antiretroviral treatment (cART) in the HIV-1-infected US population on the epidemiology of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). DESIGN, SETTING AND

participantsWe investigated the epidemiology of KSHV in 5022 HIV-1-infected, antiretroviral-naive US persons participating in six AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG)-randomized clinical trials, and followed in a long-term cohort study. We tested the first and last available sera of each participant for antibodies to KSHV K8.1 and ORF73.

main outcome measuresWe studied prevalence and incidence of KSHV infection, incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma, and overall survival.

resultsKSHV prevalence was 38.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 36.8-39.5%]. Male sex, Caucasian race, age between 30 and 49 years, residence in north-eastern or western United States, and enrolment after 2001 were independently associated with prevalent infection. KSHV incidence was 4.07/100 person-years (95% CI 3.70-4.47). Male sex, Caucasian race, age below 30, and enrolment after 2001 were associated with incident infection. CD4 cell count increase following cART was associated with lower risk. Kaposi's sarcoma incidence was 104.05/100 000 person-years (95% CI 71.17-146.89). Higher baseline CD4 cell count, but not increase in CD4 cell count after cART, was associated with lower hazard of Kaposi's sarcoma. Randomized assignment of protease inhibitors was not associated with better KSHV outcomes.

conclusionsHIV-1-infected individuals, in particular Caucasian men, remain at a significant risk for KSHV co-infection and Kaposi's sarcoma. Thus, optimal management of HIV-1 infection should continue to include vigilance for manifestations of KSHV co-infection, including Kaposi's sarcoma.
