Factors associated with high cardiovascular risk in a primarily African American, urban HIV-infected population.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo determine factors associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease in a high-risk patient population.
designCross-sectional analysis of a retrospective cohort study.
methodsOne-hundred patients at an inner city HIV clinic in 2008 were reviewed. The atherosclerotic vascular disease risk score was calculated using the Pooled Cohort Equation. Chi-square test was performed to identify associations of potential risk factors with elevated atherosclerotic vascular disease risk.
resultsEighty-one participants were included in the final analysis. In total, 95.1% were African American, and 38.3% were women. The median atherosclerotic vascular disease risk score was 8.8% and 8.1% in 2008 and 2012, respectively. The medical co-morbidities associated with increased atherosclerotic vascular disease risk were hepatitis C infection (X
conclusionAn elevated risk of developing cardiovascular disease persists in high-risk demographic groups of the HIV epidemic even in the current HIV era. There is an unexplained gender disparity and some non-traditional risk factors not accounted for in the Pooled Cohort Equation may be contributing to the excess cardiovascular disease risk observed among HIV-infected patients.
