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

backgroundStudies showed conflicting results regarding the effect of broadly used tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based regimen on lipid profiles, and in Ethiopia, there is no data regarding the magnitude of dyslipidemia and its associated factors.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of dyslipidemia and its associated factors among adult human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in TDF-based regimen in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH) in Ethiopia.

methodsA hospital-based observational prospective cohort study was conducted on conveniently selected 63 patients in TASH from January to September, 2019. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 21.0, and multivariate logistic regression was used to determine associated factors with dyslipidemia.

resultsThe overall dyslipidemia was 73% and 77.8% at baseline and six months, respectively. The prevalence of total cholesterol (TC) ≥200 mg/d, triglyceride (TG) ≥150 mg/dL, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) ≥130 mg/dL, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) <40 mg/dL was 38.1% vs 42.9%, 23.8% vs 31.7%, 17.5% vs 22.2%, and 41.3% vs 41.3% at baseline and six month follow-up, respectively. Age ≥50 years old (AOR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.004-0.71, p = 0.026) and body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m

conclusionIn this study, the proportion of patients with dyslipidemia was higher at six month follow-up but there was no significant difference when compared to baseline. The mean LDL-c was significantly higher at six months compared to its baseline mean. The associated factors with dyslipidemia were age, BMI, having cancer and low level of education. Lipid profile monitoring is recommended in patients with a younger age and higher BMI.
