Prevalence and Risk Factors of HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders in Rural Southwestern Uganda.

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
Advances in treatment of HIV have dramatically improved survival rates; HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), however, remain highly prevalent and continue to represent a significant public health problem, especially in resource-limited settings. We completed a cross-sectional study to describe the prevalence and risk factors for HAND in rural Southwestern Uganda AIDS Support Organization Centers. After securing ethical clearance from relevant bodies, 393 participants were screened for HAND using the International HIV Dementia Scale. A cutoff score of ≤10 and a significance level of p ≤ .05 were set. More than half of the 393 participants (n = 229, 58.23%) screened positive for HAND. The associated risk factors were gender (odds ratio [OR] 0.54, p = .017), peasant farming (OR 1.70, p = .04), and older age (OR 1.03, p = .019). HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder remains one of the major complications of HIV despite improvement in antiretroviral therapy and life expectancies.
