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

Skin cancers-including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma-impose high incidence and morbidity in older persons. As life expectancy continues to increase in persons living with HIV (PLWH), this population may face an increased risk of non-AIDS-defining malignancies, such as skin cancers. We conducted a systematic review on skin cancer risks in PLWH, ages 50 years or older, as compared with age-matched, HIV-uninfected persons. Four studies met criteria and were included. No statistically significant associations were demonstrated between HIV infection and skin cancers in older persons. For those with a history of basal or squamous cell carcinoma, HIV infection was associated with higher risks of subsequent squamous cell carcinoma. Future studies are needed to elucidate and reduce morbidity of primary and multiple skin cancers to promote successful aging in PLWH.
