The Impact of HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Impairment on Driving Performance in Commercial Truck Drivers.
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 9 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
Driving ability can be diminished amongst people with HIV with associated neurocognitive impairment (NCI). We explore the relationship between HIV status, NCI and driving ability in professional truck drivers. Forty male professional drivers (20 HIV-positive; mean age = 39.20 ± 7.05) completed a neuropsychological test battery, two driving simulator tasks that assessed driving ability, and a driving history and habits questionnaire. A higher proportion of HIV-positive drivers exhibited impaired overall cognitive performance (p ≤ 0.001). Overall, drivers with NCI (defined as z ≤ 1.00) were more likely than those without NCI to crash (p = 0.002). There were no significant between-group (HIV-positive versus HIV-negative) differences with regard to self-reported on-road driving events. Professional drivers with NCI, as measured on a driving simulator, are at increased risk of making driving errors under high-risk conditions compared to their neurocognitively normal counterparts. These data should inform driver health management with regard to annual medical screening and surveillance.
