Assessing HIV Care Outcomes Among African-Born People Living with HIV in Seattle: An Analysis of the University of Washington Electronic Medical Record.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
To examine the relationship between African birth and HIV outcomes and comorbidities among individuals accessing care at the University of Washington. Patients who received a diagnosis of HIV at the University of Washington from 1995 to 2018 were identified. African-born patients were defined as those with recorded birthplace or primary language belonging to an African country. This cohort was compared to all non-African-born patients for initial CD4 count < 200 cells/mL, time from diagnosis to viral suppression, and prevalence of comorbid conditions. We identified 357 African-born and 3710 non-African-born patients. Over the time period, African-born patients were more likely to present with initial CD4 counts < 200 cells/mL (31% vs 19%, p < 0.01), but had shorter time to viral suppression (HR 1.31, [95% CI: 1.14-1.56]). African-born patients had higher rates of hepatitis B and tuberculosis (12% vs. 7% p < 0.01 and 13% vs. 3% p < 0.01). African-born patients living in the Seattle area have better HIV outcomes, but low initial CD4 counts suggest that they are presenting to care late. Increased efforts to engage this population in HIV, hepatitis B, and tuberculosis screening are warranted.
