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

aimsThe prognosis and the clinical manifestations of HIV infection have changed with the introduction of the potent combination antiretroviral therapy (cART); however, up to 50% of patients meet research criteria for "HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders" (HAND) according with current nosology. The majority of patients affected by HAND, especially in cohorts with suppressed plasma viremia, showed an Asymptomatic Neurocognitive Impairment (ANI), without any functional impairment. After more than 10 years from the introduction of the current so-called "Frascati criteria", this mini-review aimed to address the emerging limitations in current diagnosis procedures.

methodsWe discussed the most relevant literature on HAND prevalence, etiology, and diagnosis.

resultsWe addressed three main emerging issues: (1) the unclear clinical relevance of ANI entity; (2) the evidences that Frascati criteria could produce a significant overestimation of HAND; (3) the need to better identify patients with a higher risk to develop HAND requiring routine neuropsychological examinations.

conclusionsFrascati criteria should be updated to better respond to the present characteristics of HIV + cohorts and to help clinicians in their cognitive and global management.
