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

backgroundComplete recovery of the CD4 T cell count is uncommon among chronically HIV-infected individuals with very low pre-treatment CD4 count. We studied the prevalence of chronically immune recovery and its associated factors including immune characteristics chronic HIV-infected Thais.

methodsTreatment-naïve participants (n ​= ​375) from the HIV-NAT 006 cohort with a pre-treatment CD4 T cell count after initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) and having achieved a suppressed viremia (HIV-RNA level ​< ​400 copies/mL) were retrospectively followed at the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre, Bangkok, Thailand. Suboptimal immune recovery (SIR) was defined as having a CD4

resultsAmong 375 participants with pre-ART CD4 T cell counts < 200 ​cells/mm

conclusionsNearly 10% of the study participants who had achieved virological suppression failed to recover a CD4 T cell count > 200 cells/mm
