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

Although neuropsychological studies of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients have demonstrated heterogeneity in neurocognitive impairment and neuroimaging studies have reported diverse brain regions affected by HIV, it remains unclear whether individual differences in neurocognitive impairment are underpinned by their neural bases. Here, we investigated spatial distribution patterns of correlation between neurocognitive function and regional gray matter (GM) volume across patients with HIV. Thirty-one combination antiretroviral therapy-treated HIV-infected Japanese male patients and 33 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in the analysis after strict exclusion criteria, especially for substance use. Fifteen neurocognitive tests were used, and volumetric magnetic resonance imaging was performed. We used voxel-based morphometry to compare GM volume between groups and identify regional GM volumes that correlated with neurocognitive tests across patients. Using the Frascati criteria, 10 patients were diagnosed with asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment, while the others were not diagnosed with HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders. Patients showed a significantly lower performance in five neurocognitive tests as well as significantly reduced GM volume relative to controls, with volume-reduced regions spread diffusely across the whole brain. Different aspects of neurocognitive impairment (i.e., figural copy, finger tapping, and Pegboard) were associated with different GM regions. Our findings suggest a biological background constituting heterogeneity of neurocognitive impairment in HIV infection and support the clinical importance of considering individual differences for tailor-made medicine for people living with HIV.
