Prevention of Perinatal HIV Transmission in an Area of High HIV Prevalence in the United States.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo evaluate the uptake of perinatal HIV preventive interventions by the risk of perinatal HIV transmission in mother-infant pairs in a high-HIV prevalence area in the US. STUDY
designThis was a retrospective cohort study of mother-infant pairs with perinatal HIV exposure during 2013-2017 managed at a subspecialty pediatric HIV program in Washington, DC. We collected demographic data, maternal HIV history, delivery mode, maternal and infant antiretroviral drug (ARV) use, and infant HIV test results. We compared the uptake of recommended preventive interventions in low-risk (ie, mothers on antiretroviral therapy [ART] with viral suppression) and high-risk (mothers without ART or viral suppression) mother-infant pairs using the Pearson chi-square, Fisher exact, and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests and logistic regression.
resultsWe analyzed 551 HIV-exposed infants (HEIs) and 542 mothers living with HIV. The majority of mothers received ARVs (95.5%), had HIV RNA ≤1000 copies/mL before delivery (81.9%), and received intrapartum zidovudine (ZDV; 65.5%). The majority of all HEIs were low risk (82.6%) and received postpartum ARVs (98.9%). Among the low-risk infants, 53.2% were delivered via cesarean delivery (CD), and 62.9% and 96.5% were administered intrapartum and postpartum ZDV, respectively. Among high-risk infants, 84.4% were delivered via CD, 78.1% received intrapartum ZDV, and 62.5% received combination ART. Nine high-risk infants acquired HIV perinatally.
conclusionIn an area of high HIV prevalence in the US, a large proportion of low-risk HEIs received intrapartum ZDV and were delivered via CD. We also observed missed opportunities for the prevention of perinatal HIV transmission.
