Hematologic abnormalities and associated factors among HIV infected children pre- and post-antiretroviral treatment, North West Ethiopia.

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
introductionThere are few studies on the hematologic parameters of HIV-infected individuals in Ethiopia; of these, almost all studies researched adults. Our current study is unique in that it mainly focused on the pediatric population and compared both pre- and post-antiretroviral therapy (ART) children. Inference from this study can be used for other developing countries where the burden of HIV disease is high.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to identify hematologic abnormalities in HIV-infected children before and after initiation of ART. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted on HIV-infected children from June 1 to August 30, 2015. Data were collected using a pretested and structured questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20 version.
resultsThe median age of study subjects was 10 years with an interquartile range (IQR) of (6, 12). Two-thirds (74.3%) of study subjects received ART for >1 year. The median of CD4 count before ART was 490 cells/mm
conclusionART positively or negatively affects the hematologic profile of HIV-infected children. The current study demonstrated a significant reduction of anemia after initiation of ART.
