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

objectiveAnemia is the most common hematological complication of HIV infection that has a significant impact on the quality of life and clinical outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of anemia among adult HIV positive patients on Anti-retroviral therapy at Deber Tabor hospital, northwest Ethiopia. An institution based cross-sectional study was conducted on 365 HIV/AIDS patients on ART selected using the systematic random sampling technique. Blood samples were analyzed using the Cell-DYN 1800 automated hematology analyzer to measure hemoglobin. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyzes were employed to find the predictors at p-value < 0 .2 and 0.05, respectively.

resultsThe overall prevalence of anemia was 34.0%[95% CI (29.0, 39.0)]; taking Zidovudine based antiretroviral regimen (AOR: 5.9, 95% CI 1.04, 13.86), CD4 count < 200 cells/mm
