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

The Frascati criteria for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND; Antinori et al. 2007) outlines a classification scheme for functional decline that-despite being over a decade old-has not heretofore been examined systematically. Participants included 307 HIV+ and 183 HIV- participants who completed self-report, clinician-rated, and performance-based measures of functional status, along with neurocognitive, psychiatric, and medical/laboratory assessments. Using the Frascati criteria, we classified participants with (1) no functional declines, (2) mild functional declines, or (3) major functional declines. A multivariable logistic regression showed that HIV serostatus was associated with higher rates of major (33.2 vs. 13.7%) but not mild (38.8 vs. 31.7%) Frascati-defined functional decline. Within the HIV+ group, individuals with global neurocognitive impairment and affective disorders were at highest risk of Frascati-defined functional decline. Findings provide some empirical support for the sensitivity and validity of the Frascati criteria for functional declines in the context of HAND. Future work is needed to determine the reliability, stability, cross-cultural validity, and downstream health-related consequences of the Frascati-defined functional classifications.
