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

objectivesPeople living with HIV (PLWH) have increased risk of chronic disease and poor mental health. We aimed to explore HIV disease indicators, comorbidity, and risk behavior of recent antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiators to inform current needs of PLWH.

methodsMen who have sex with men (MSM) in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) who initiated ART between 2010 and 2018 (recent initiators) were compared with age-, race- and geographic location-matched men who initiated ART during 2000-2009 (early initiators). Measures of HIV disease, behavior, comorbidity and mental health were collected prospectively every 6 months using standardized forms.

resultsRecent initiators had higher current CD4 (median CD4 451 vs. 307 cells/μL, P < 0.0001) and nadir CD4 (451 vs. 300 cells/μL, P < 0.0001) than earlier initiators. The proportion achieving viral suppression within a year of starting ART was significantly higher in recent compared with earlier initiators (92% vs. 74%, P < 0.0001). Median [interquartile range (IQR)] time from HIV diagnosis to ART initiation was 5.4 (1.7-23.1) months in recent initiators. Comorbidity prevalence was high in recent initiators, including obesity (24%), hypertension (25%) and kidney disease (15%). Substance use continues to be common, including cigarette use (40%), daily alcohol use (88%) and marijuana use (46%).

conclusionsImprovements in getting individuals onto ART at an early stage have led to substantially higher CD4 cell counts at initiation. However, the high burden of comorbidity, substance use and poor mental health affecting MSM living with HIV in the US underscore ongoing challenges and our need to adapt and coordinate care.
