Prevalence of Asymptomatic Microalbuminuria in HIV Positive Children in India.
Observational study in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo study the prevalence of covert or early renal involvement among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive children.
methodsA cross-sectional observational study was carried out on 250 HIV positive children (2-18 y) on follow-up in a tertiary care hospital from January 2014 through June 2015. Those who met the study criteria were evaluated for microalbuminuria and glomerular and tubular dysfunctions.
resultsFifty-one out of two hundred fifty (20%) children were found to have microalbuminuria though none had any other evidence of renal dysfunction. The incidence of microalbuminuria in children on Anti Retroviral Therapy (ART) and those not on ART was 20% and 21% respectively. Neither was there any difference in those with a CD4 count ≤500/cu mm compared with those with counts >500/cu mm. However, the overall CD4 counts were significantly lower in children with microalbuminuria.
conclusionsMicroalbuminuria was detected in 20% of asymptomatic HIV positive children suggesting early glomerular dysfunction and need for regular screening and follow-up.
