Risk Factors Associated With Chronic Liver Enzyme Elevation in Persons With HIV Without Hepatitis B or C Coinfection in the Combination Antiretroviral Therapy Era.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAs morbidity due to viral coinfections declines among HIV-infected persons, changes in liver-related morbidity are anticipated. We examined data from the US Military HIV Natural History Study (NHS), a cohort of military beneficiaries, to evaluate incidence and risk factors associated with chronic liver enzyme elevation (cLEE) in HIV-monoinfected patients in the combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) era.
methodsParticipants who were hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus seronegative with follow-up after 1996 were included. We defined chronic liver enzyme elevation (cLEE) as alanine aminotransferase elevations ≥1.25 times the upper limit of normal on at least 2 visits, for a duration of ≥6 months within 2 years. We used multivariate Cox proportional hazards models to examine risk factors for cLEE.
resultsOf 2779 participants, 309 (11%) met criteria for cLEE for an incidence of 1.28/100 PYFU (1.28-1.29/100 PYFU). In an adjusted model, cLEE was associated with Hispanic/other ethnicity (reference Caucasian: hazard ratio [HR], 1.744; 95% CI, 1.270-2.395), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-based cART (reference boosted protease inhibitors: HR, 2.232; 95% CI, 1.378-3.616), being cART naïve (HR, 6.046; 95% CI, 3.686-9.915), or having cART interruptions (HR, 8.671; 95% CI, 4.651-16.164). African American race (HR, 0.669; 95% CI, 0.510-0.877) and integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based cART (HR, 0.222; 95% CI, 0.104-0.474) were protective.
conclusionsOur findings demonstrate that initiation and continued use of cART are protective against cLEE and support the hypothesis that HIV infection directly impacts the liver. INSTI-based regimens were protective and could be considered in persons with cLEE.
