Hematological Indices at Birth of Infants of HIV-Positive Mothers Participating in a Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission Program.
Article in Journal of tropical pediatrics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe mother-to-child transmission of HIV, which accounts for 90% of infections in children, has been reduced markedly through the use of antiretroviral drugs by pregnant women and their newborns. Changes to the World Health Organization guidelines support further extension of the prevention of mother-to-child transmission programs with increased risk of toxicity on the fetuses.
aimTo determine the hematological indices at birth of infants exposed in utero to maternal antiretroviral drugs.
methodA comparative analytical study of 126 neonates whose blood samples were analyzed to determine their hematological indices.
resultThe hemoglobin, hematocrit, the total white blood cell (WBC) count and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) were significantly lower in infants of HIV-positive mothers. The total WBC and ANC were also significantly lower in the highly active antiretroviral therapy. HAART group and those exposed to maternal drugs for <1 year.
conclusionThere are significant changes in the hematological indices of infants of HIV-positive mothers at birth.
