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

introductionThe life expectancy of HIV-infected patients has been increased by highly effective therapies. People living with HIV (PLWH) in Romania are exposed to age-related comorbidities occurring earlier than in uninfected individuals. Multidisciplinary care is required to maintain the general health and quality of life in these patients. Currently, the communication among different specialties needs to be enhanced and formalized.

methodsA panel consisting of 8 Romanian experts in infectious diseases, cardio-metabolic, bone, and kidney diseases and psychology met in May 2019 in Bucharest Romania to discuss the need to evaluate and monitor the most prevalent comorbidities in PLWH. The meeting resulted in practical guidance on the management of several non-infectious associated diseases. The algorithms were endorsed by the Society for Infectious Diseases and HIV/AIDS, Romania.

resultsThe consensus statement offers practical guidance on how to assess and monitor associated diseases in adult PLWH. The recommendations are grouped for each cluster of comorbidities and are based on international guidelines and clinical experience, including landmarks for referral of PLWH to cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology specialist or clinical psychologist for additional investigations and adequate treatment. Specific indications for diagnosis or treatment were beyond the scope of this consensus.

conclusionsScreening for associated diseases and adequate management are required to maintain the overall health status of PLWH. When implemented in clinical practice, the recommended algorithms should be used in addition to diagnosis and treatment guidelines and protocols. The infectious diseases specialist plays a key role in coordinating the overall treatment strategy and working within the multidisciplinary team.
