Outcomes Following Major Oncologic Operations for Non-AIDS-Defining Cancers in the HIV Population: A Matched Comparison to the General Population.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients are living longer due to the availability of antiretroviral therapies, and non-AIDS-defining cancers are becoming more prevalent in this patient population. A paucity of data remains on post-operative outcomes following resection of non-AIDS-defining cancers in the HIV population.
methodsThe National Inpatient Sample was utilized to identify patients who underwent surgical resection for malignancy from 2005 to 2015 (HIV, N = 52,742; non-HIV, N = 11,885,184). Complications were categorized by international classification of disease (ICD)-9 diagnosis codes. Cohorts were matched on insurance, household income, zip code and urban/rural setting. Logistic regression assessed whether HIV was an independent predictor of post-operative complications.
resultsDescriptive statistics found HIV patients to have an increased rate of complications following select oncologic surgical resections. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression found HIV to only be an independent predictor of complications following pulmonary lobectomy (p = 0.011; OR 2.93, 95% CI 1.29-6.73). Length of stay was statistically longer following colectomy (2.61 days, 95% CI 1.98-3.44) in those with HIV.
conclusionsOur findings are hypothesis generating and highlight the potential safety of major cancer surgery in the HIV population. However, care providers need be cognizant of the potential increased risk of post-operative complications following pulmonary lobectomy and the potential for increased length of stay. These findings are an initial insight into quality of care and outcomes metrics on HIV patients undergoing major cancer operations.
