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

objectivesIn India, access to free anti-retroviral therapy has improved the survival of perinatally human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected children resulting in the transition of many such children to adulthood. This study aims to understand the social-outcomes and quality of life (QOL) among these adults.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in two tertiary HIV care centers in south India. Perinatally HIV-infected adults aged >18 y were enrolled after obtaining consent. Data were collected by questionnaire based interviews for social outcomes and WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) for QOL. The social-outcome indicators monitored pertained to family support, educational qualification and occupational, economic, and marital status.

resultsThe mean age of 107 participants was 18·9 ± 1·1y. The school drop-out rate was 58%. Sixty-two percent were double orphans. Forty-three-percent of the participants were employed with mean per-capita monthly income of Rs.4105 ± 2979 ($65·2 ± 47·3). Fourteen-percent of the participants were married, or in a relationship, and a majority of them, 93%, were females. For QOL, the mean raw score was highest for social relationship (15·79). Relative to studying subjects, a higher proportion of school dropouts scored poorly in social relationship (42% vs.14·8%; Chi-square = 5·28; p = 0·02) and environmental QOL (46% vs.19·6%;Chi-square = 8·09; p = 0·004). The proportion of subjects with a poor physical health QOL was higher among those with a per-capita monthly income above the national average than those with below the national average (69% vs.33·3%; Chi-square = 5·27; p = 0·02).

conclusionsThough clinico-immunological disease was stable in these perinatally HIV-infected young adults, their social-outcomes pertaining to education, occupation, income, and family support were poor. Factors like education, parental care, and income of the subjects were associated with poor QOL.
