Impact of Antiretroviral Therapy on the Risk of Recurrence in HIV-1 Infected Patients with Kaposi Sarcoma: A Multicenter Cohort Experience.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) remains a relevant malignancy in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with a non-standardized management; despite past suggestions that ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (bPI)-based regimens could be preferable, no combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) regimen was demonstrated to outperform the others and the impact of new drugs, drug classes or paradigms was never investigated nor proven better than previous therapeutic regimes. In order to do this, we retrospectively collected data regarding HIV-infected patients with a diagnosis of KS last seen in six Italian centers after 1 January 2013. A total of 104 KS cases in 99 patients was analyzed for 945.34 patient-year follow-up (PYFU). Twenty-six patients had visceral localizations. Thirty-three patients were treated with chemotherapy, four with electrochemotherapy, and 12 with α-interferon (α-IFN). At censor, 22% received a bPI-based, 14% a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based, and 28% an integrase inhibitor (INI)-based standard cART, 24% a less drug regimen and 12% a mega-cART. Twelve recurrence episodes were observed in seven patients for an incidence of 1.27 per 100 PYFU. Two patients with no evidence of recurrence episodes died for other reasons. In our experience, KS recurrence episodes were infrequent. Despite the increasing use of new antiretroviral drug classes and new treatment paradigms, no excess of recurrence episodes was observed in patients receiving such cART regimens.
