Persistent Disparities in Smoking Rates Among PLWH Compared to the General Population in Philadelphia, 2009-2014.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2021. 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
Despite reductions in smoking rates in the general population, little is known about recent smoking trends among people living with HIV (PLWH). We compared the risk for smoking and temporal trends in smoking among PLWH and the general population in the Philadelphia metropolitan area between 2009 and 2014. We used weighted logistic regression to assess the relation between HIV and smoking, and examined temporal smoking trends. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for smoking comparing PLWH to the general population was 1.80 (95% CI 1.55-2.09) after adjusting for socio-economic, demographic, and mental health diagnosis variables. Smoking prevalence decreased in both the PLWH and general populations during the study period, and we did not observe a significant difference in rates of decline between groups (P = 0.54). Despite overall progress in smoking cessation, a disparity persisted in smoking rates between PLWH and the general population, with and without adjustment for socio-economic, demographic, and mental health variables. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms linking HIV and tobacco use in order to inform public health efforts to reduce smoking among PLWH.
