Closing the Gap in Antiretroviral Initiation and Viral Suppression: Time Trends and Racial Disparities.
Article in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundIn the current antiretroviral (ART) era, the evolution of HIV guidelines and emergence of new ART agents might be expected to impact the times to ART initiation and HIV virologic suppression. We sought to determine if times to AI and virologic suppression decreased and if disparities exist by age, race/ethnicity, and HIV risk.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of data from 12 sites of the HIV Research Network, a consortium of US clinics caring for HIV-infected patients. HIV-infected adults (≥18 year old) newly presenting for care between 2003 and 2013 were included in this study. Times to AI and virologic suppression were defined as time from enrollment to AI and HIV RNA <400 copies per milliliter, respectively. We conducted time-to-event analyses using competing risk regression in the HIV Research Network cohort from 2003 to 2012 in 2-year intervals, with follow-up through 2013.
resultsAmong 15,272 participants, 76.9% were male, 48.4% black, and 10.9% were injection drug use with median age of 38 years (interquartile range: 29-46 years). The adjusted subdistribution hazards ratios (SHRs) for AI and virologic suppression each increased for years 2007-2008 [SHR 1.23 (1.16-1.30), and SHR 1.25 (1.17-1.34), respectively], 2009-2010 [1.55 (1.46-1.64), and 1.54 (1.43-1.65), respectively], and 2011-2012 [1.94 (1.83-2.07), and 1.73 (1.61-1.86), respectively] compared with 2003-2004. Blacks had a lower probability of AI than whites and Hispanics.
conclusionsSince 2007, times from enrollment to AI and virologic suppression have decreased significantly compared with 2003-2004, but persisting disparities should be addressed.
