Prevalence and Predictors of Hospitalizations Among HIV-Infected and At-Risk HIV-Uninfected Women.
Article in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesWe evaluated the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) Index score, an index composed of age, CD4 count, viral load, hemoglobin, Hepatitis C coinfection, Fibrosis Index-4, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, and psychosocial and clinical risk factors for all-cause hospitalization among HIV-infected women on highly active antiretroviral therapy and HIV-uninfected women.
methodsData were collected from 2008 to 2014 from 1585 highly active antiretroviral therapy-experienced HIV infected and 692 uninfected women. Cox proportional hazards regression evaluated predictors of first hospitalization over 2 years.
resultsAmong HIV-infected women, VACS Index score (per 5 points) [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.08; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06 to 1.11], Centers for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CESD) scores ≥16 (aHR 1.61; 95% CI: 1.30 to 1.99), smoking (aHR 1.26; 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.55), abuse history (aHR 1.52; 95% CI: 1.20 to 1.93), diabetes (aHR 1.63; 95% CI: 1.31 to 2.04), and black race (aHR 1.28; 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.59) increased risk of hospitalization. Among HIV-uninfected women, VACS Index score (aHR 1.08; 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.13), CESD scores ≥16 (aHR 1.38; 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.86), diabetes (aHR 2.15; 95% CI: 1.57 to 2.95), and black race (aHR 1.61; 95% CI: 1.15 to 2.24) predicted subsequent hospitalization.
conclusionsPsychosocial and clinical factors were associated with risk of hospitalization independently of the VACS Index score. Additional research on contextual and psychosocial influences on health outcomes among women is needed.
