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

objectivesAs the global access of antiretrovirals for HIV-infected infants improves, so the body of perinatally HIV-infected adolescents (PHIVA) grows. The neurological and physical complications of HIV, both in children and in adults, are well established, however there is a paucity of data pertaining to PHIVA, a group of people who have had a lifetime exposure to the virus and to antiretrovirals. There has been a resounding call for further research in this area, as well as for the development of policies and programmes for this population. The aim of this study is to determine the physical sequelae in PHIVA and to propose a model of care for this population.

methodsThrough interviews with PHIVA, the perceived physical challenges will be established. Thereafter a cohort study with age-matched participants will determine if PHIVA have any limitations in fatigue, endurance, motor function and muscle strength, body mass index, peripheral neuropathy, level of disability and quality of life. Using these results, a model of care will be proposed through the nominal group technique with both PHIVA and clinicians working in HIV and adolescence.
