Association Between Frailty and HIV-Associated Neurodegenerative Disorders Among Older Adults Living with HIV.

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
The population of aging adults living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is growing worldwide and evidence suggests that frailty occurs prematurely among them. In turn, frailty has been associated with cognitive decline. It is unknown, however, if people with both frailty and HIV infection have a higher risk of cognitive impairment compared with nonfrail HIV-infected persons. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to determine the association between the phenotype of frailty and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) among adults aged 50 years or older living with HIV/AIDS. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 206 adults living with HIV receiving care in a university-affiliated tertiary care hospital in Mexico City. Frailty was defined as per the Fried criteria. The presence of HAND was established according to the Antinori criteria: HIV-associated asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment (ANI), HIV-associated mild neurocognitive disorder (MND), or cognitively nonimpaired. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to test the independent association between frailty and HAND adjusting for potential confounders. Mean age of participants was 60.5 ± 6.3 years and 84.9% were male. Prevalence of HAND and frailty phenotype was 66.0% and 2.9%, respectively. The unadjusted analysis showed that both prefrail and frail statuses were associated with MND but not with ANI. However, after adjustment, the association with MND remained significant only among prefrail participants and no longer for frail persons (risk ratio [RR] = 5.7, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.09-29.82; p = .039 and RR = 18.3, 95% CI 0.93-362.6; p = .056, respectively). Prefrailty is associated with symptomatic neurocognitive disorders in older adults living with HIV. The spectrum of the frailty phenotype in this already vulnerable population should serve as an indicator of concomitant cognitive decline.
