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

backgroundTreatment failure among the population on second line antiretroviral therapy is a major public health threat. In Ethiopia there has been limited research done on second line treatment failure.

objectiveTo identify determinants of virologic failure among adults on second line antiretroviral therapy in six public hospitals of Wollo, Amhara regional state, northeast Ethiopia.

methodsAn institution-based unmatched case-control study was conducted from February 1, 2020 to April 30, 2020 on a total of 377 clients in six public hospitals of Wollo, Amhara regional state, northeast Ethiopia. Clients whose viral load result >1,000 copies/mL in two consecutive results at least 3 month apart were cases, while ≤1,000 copies/mL were controls. The sample size was calculated by using Epi-Info version 7. Cases (94) and controls (283) were selected using a simple random sampling method in a ratio of cases-to-controls of 1:3. The model fitted and binary logistic assumptions were fulfilled with 95% confidence level and

resultsVirologic failure was predicted by poor adherence (AOR=6.060, 95% CI=2.837-12.944), not disclosing their HIV status (AOR=4.178, 95% CI=1.431-12.198), OI (AOR=4.11, 95% CI=1.827-9.246), CD4 count <100 cells/mm CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Determinants of second line ART virologic failure were patients who had poor adherence to ART, not disclosed, opportunistic infection, low CD4 counts <350 cell/mm
