Changes in the haematological parameters of HIV-1 infected children at 6 and 12 months of antiretroviral therapy in a large clinic cohort, North-Central Nigeria.

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
backgroundPrior to commencing antiretroviral therapy (ART), haematological abnormalities are a common occurrence in individuals diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In the course of receiving ART, these abnormalities usually improve. We determined the prevalence of haematological abnormalities in children diagnosed with HIV-1 and the changes in haematological parameters that occur after 6 and 12 months of being on ART.
methodsA cross-sectional study of HIV-1 infected children aged 2 months to 15 years, between July 2005 and March 2013, at the paediatric HIV clinic of the Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos. Median values of repeated measures were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank sum test.
resultsThe prevalence of anaemia, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia among the 941 children studied, prior to ART was 6.4%, 7.0% and 8.6%. Median (IQR) haemoglobin (Hb) levels increased from 10 g/dL (9-11 g/dL) at baseline to 11 g/dL (10-12 g/dL) and 11 g/dL (10-12 g/dL) at 6 and 12 months of ART (
conclusionDuring the 12 months of ART, children in our cohort had significant improvements in haematological parameters such as haemoglobin levels and platelet counts, which would suggest an early positive response to ART.
