1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

With the progressive increase in life expectancy of HIV-positive patient, thanks to "highly active antiretroviral therapy" (HAART), new comorbidities, and especially cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are emerging as an important concern. An increased risk of coronary artery disease, often in a younger age, has been observed in this population. The underlying pathophysiology is complex and partially still unclear, with the interaction of viral infection-and systemic inflammation-antiretroviral therapy and traditional risk factors. After an accurate risk stratification, primary prevention should balance the optimal HAART to suppress the virus-avoiding side-effects-the intervention on life-style and the treatment of traditional risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes). Also the management after a cardiovascular event is challenging: revascularization strategies-both percutaneous and surgical-are valuable options, keeping in mind the higher rates of recurrent events, and caution is essential to avoid drug-drug interactions. Large evidence-based data on HIV-infected patients are still lacking, and recommendations often follow those of general population. Therefore we performed a comprehensive evaluation of the literature to analyze the current knowledge on CVD's prevalence, prevention and treatment in HIV-infected patients.
