Adolescent HIV viral load in an urban hospital in Newark, New Jersey.
Article in International journal of pediatrics & adolescent medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in adolescents is a growing concern. Amid psychosocial challenges, adolescents must successfully transition into adult-centered care; however, little is known about outcome measurements within this period. We assessed the trend in adolescent HIV viral loads (VLs) in a community with a high HIV prevalence, allowing physicians to better recognize the challenges of transitioning adolescents with HIV to adult care. PATIENTS AND
methodsAll HIV RNA VLs from the Molecular Virology Lab at University Hospital in Newark, New Jersey, from 2007 to 2010 were obtained. Patients were divided into pediatric (<13 years of age), adolescent (13-25 years of age), and adult (>25 years of age) age groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses assessed characteristics of patients by age and gender.
resultsA minimum of 40 pediatric, 178 adolescent, and 1335 adult patients were identified per year. There was a statistically significant increase in VLs of adolescents when compared to pediatric patients (
conclusionSuccessful transitional care programs should focus on pediatric needs to address the noticeable decrease in virologic control beginning at 8 years of age and the decreased rate of virologic suppression in females, creating concern for potential gender inequalities and increased risk of vertical transmission.
