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.

Abstract

introductionSuboptimal ART adherence, despite HIV viral suppression, has been associated with chronic residual inflammation. Whether this association extends to individuals who initiate ART during early HIV infection remains unknown, which was the objective of this study.

methodsPlasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A protein (SAA), IL-27, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, soluble vascular adhesion molecule-1, D-dimer and the CD4+/CD8+ T-cell ratio, were analysed at baseline and eight months after ART initiation in treatment-naïve participants with HIV and CD4+ T-cells >500 cells/mm

resultsWe evaluated 1627 participants (422 female) who achieved virologic suppression at the eight-month visit in the period between 2009 and 2013. Median (IQR) CD4+ T-cell count before ART was 651 (585, 769) cells/mm

conclusionsIncomplete ART adherence was associated with higher IL-6 levels in individuals who achieved virologic suppression early after ART initiation in START. A potential similar association for SAA requires confirmation. These findings suggest a role for identifying strategies to maximize ART adherence even during virologic suppression. ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT00867048.
