The long-term effect of human immunodeficiency virus infection on retinal microvasculature and the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer: an OCT angiography study.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo investigate the long-term effect of HIV infection on the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer and retinal capillary network.
methodsThis prospective, cross-sectional case-control study included 45 HIV-infected patients and 45 healthy individuals. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used for the assessment of macular, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thicknesses, ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer, vessel density, perfusion density, and foveal avascular zone.
resultsThe mean disease duration was 7.3 ± 1.9 years (range, 5-12 years) in the HIV group. The mean CD4 count (nadir) for all the patients was 147.09 ± 122 cells/mm
conclusionsThe results of this study provide evidence of microvascular and neuroretinal loss in individuals with well-suppressed HIV infection, compared with healthy control subjects. OCTA is an important test for the screening of retinal microvascular changes over time in HIV-infected cases.
