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

purpose of reviewNeurocognitive disorders are not uncommon in HIV-positive patients but their pathogenesis is multifactorial and incompletely understood. After excluding contributing comorbidities, several factors may impair neurocognition including severe immune suppression, incomplete antiviral efficacy, drugs' persistent immune activation, vascular abnormalities, and drugs' neurotoxicity. The effectiveness of targeted antiretroviral strategies on these risk factors is unknown. RECENT

findingsRecent studies support the idea that residual cerebrospinal fluid HIV RNA in the setting of plasma viral suppression is associated with compartmental immune activation but the link to neuronal damage is debated. Some authors have reported an incomplete antiviral efficacy in macrophage-derived cells but targeted antiretroviral regimen switches have not been performed. Additionally, improvements in neurocognition using drugs with better central nervous system penetration or maraviroc (associated with favorable immunological properties) have been observed in pilot studies. Trials evaluating specific interventions for cardiovascular health (including brain white matter abnormalities) and neurotoxicity of antiretrovirals are warranted. Central nervous system-targeted antiretroviral strategies are needed in patients with uncontrolled cerebrospinal HIV replication, and they may be suggested in subjects with low CD4 nadir, individuals carrying drug-resistant viruses, and those with compartmental immune activation.
