High proportion of HIV late presenters at an academic tertiary care center in northern Germany confirms the results of several cohorts in Germany: time to put better HIV screening efforts on the national agenda?
Article in Infection, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
165 treatment-naive patients who first presented at the infectious disease clinic of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf from 2009 to 2011 were retrospectively analyzed with emphasis on patients with late presentation (LP). In line with other recent German reports, there was a large proportion of 105 of the 165 treatment-naïve patients (63.6 %) who presented late. Old age, heterosexual transmission risk and migrant background were associated risk factors for late presentation. Thus, further intensified national efforts like the HIV in Europe initiative are needed to identify such patients at high risk for HIV infection.
