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

Despite the availability of modern antiretroviral therapy (ART), neurocognitive impairment persists among some persons with HIV (PWH). We investigated the role of exposure to four major classes of ARTs in neurocognitive impairment in PWH. A single-site cohort of 343 PWH was recruited. Lifetime ART medication history was obtained from medical health records. We evaluated the role of ART exposure as a predictor of neurocognitive impairment using univariate analyses and machine learning, while accounting for potential effects of demographic, clinical, and comorbidity-related risk factors. Out of a total of 26 tested variables, two random forest analyses identified the most important characteristics of a neurocognitively impaired group (N = 59): Compared with a neurocognitively high-performing group (N = 132; F
