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

objectiveTo present detailed information regarding these aspects in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected patients making an effort to improve the recognition of neurological complications of HIV infection.

methodsThis retrospective study analyzed the clinical manifestations, laboratory and neuroimaging results of HIV-infected patients with neurological complications at Xuanwu hospital, Beijing, China from January 2011 to December 2014, one of top-rated hospitals in Beijing, China.

resultsA diverse range of clinical diagnoses was identified, including encephalopathy, meningoencephalitis, peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, cerebral infarction and lymphoma associated with HIV infection. The mostly observed neurological disorders were motor/sensory deficits in the limbs (75%), cognitive impairments (42%) and fever (33%). Non-specific results of laboratory tests, including elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein concentration and IgG, were found. Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) abnormalities displayed a variety of patterns and distributions due to diverse clinical profiles.

conclusionThe clinical scenarios of HIV-infected patients are remarkably diverse and complex. Etiological tests would be cardinal to make more definitive diagnosis for HIV-infected patients. Prospective studies with follow-up were needed to bring more accurate information.
