Effectiveness of Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) in Detecting the Serostatus of HIV-Exposed Infants and Children.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
background/purpose of the studyAlthough interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection are being increasingly implemented as a part of national guideline, the prevalence of pediatric HIV remains high. There is remarkable increase in survival if HIV-infected children have access to early infant diagnosis (EID) and treatment.
methodsThe study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Medical College, Kolkata from July 2011 to February 2014 after obtaining approval from the institutional ethics committee. All the infants of HIV-positive mothers who came for EID between 6 weeks to 18 months of age during the study period were included in the study. A total number of 151 infants were included in the study and divided into Group A and B according to the time of first testing. It was a prospective observational longitudinal study. Data were collected from the EID register of PPTCT unit Medical College Kolkata. EID was done as laid out in the pediatric ART (anti-retroviral therapy) guidelines of the National AIDS Control Organization.
resultsEffectiveness of EID is judged by the corroboration of results at 6 week, 6 and 18 months. Comparing the results in group A, we found that 10.26, 8.41, and 7.29 % were positive at 6 weeks, 6 and 18 months, respectively, and with p value of 0.5828 the differences were not statistically significant. In group B, we observed that 47.06 and 45.45 % were positive at 6 and 18 months, respectively. Analysis revealed a p value of 0.9072 indicating no significant statistical difference between the results of testing in different periods. This reflects a good correlation between the 6 weeks, 6 and 18 months value, thus establishing the integrity of the EID.
conclusionUltimate integrity of the PPTCT is judged by testing the child. EID is a novel procedure which aims at earlier diagnosis and initiation of treatment in the children.
