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

Vaccination has been associated with a transient increase in viremia in HIV-infected individuals, although contradicting evidence persist in the literature. As part of a randomized placebo-controlled efficacy trial of the PCV7 in Malawi, we collected viral load and CD4+ T-cell counts from 237 adults who received two doses of vaccine or placebo, administered 4 weeks apart. Analyses were conducted separately for cART and non-cART users. Our analysis show no difference in viral loads between vaccine and placebo groups, regardless of cART use. Viremia decreased from 4.1 to 2.9 log
