Prevalence and Patterns of Multimorbidity among Human Immunodeficiency Virus Positive People in Odisha, India: An Exploratory Study.
Article in Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR, 2017. 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
introductionImproved and efficient Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) has turned HIV positive into a chronic disorder. The increase in life expectancy and quality of life comes with an increased risk of multimorbidity from the traditional risk factors.
aimTo explore the prevalence of multimorbidity among People Living with HIV (PLHIV). MATERIALS AND
methodsAn exploratory cross-sectional study was carried out in an ART center of Odisha, India, from November 2013 to December 2013. A systematic random sampling was done to include 197 adult HIV positive patients receiving ART at least for one year or more. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic profile, ART status, multimorbidity and opportunistic infections.
resultsThe prevalence of multimorbidity was 47.7% (95% CI 41% to 55%). Among them, the most common chronic conditions were pulmonary tuberculosis (28.4%), gastro-intestinal conditions (7.1%), neural disorders (5.1%) and hypertension (2.5%). In total, 48.7% had opportunistic infections; with 36% bacterial, 25% fungal and 21% viral infections.
conclusionThe prevalence of multimorbidity was high among HIV positive patients. Further research should explore the epidemiology of multimorbidity among HIV positive patients to formulate proper clinical practice guidelines to enhance long-term outcomes of PLHIV in the current treatment era.
