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

Background Although HIV is associated with increased risk of heart failure (HF), it is not known if people living with HIV develop HF at a younger age compared with individuals without HIV. Crude comparisons of age at diagnosis of HF between individuals with and without HIV does not account for differences in underlying age structures between the populations. Methods and Results We used Veterans Health Administration data to compare the age at HF diagnosis between veterans with and without HIV, with adjustment for difference in population age structure. Statistical weights, calculated for each 1-year strata of veterans with HIV in each calendar year from 2000 to 2018, were applied to the veterans without HIV to standardize the age structure. We identified 5093 veterans with HIV (98% men, 34% White) with first HF episode recorded after HIV diagnosis (median age at incidence of HF, 58 years), and 1 425 987 veterans without HIV (98% men, 78% White) with HF (corresponding age, 72 years), with an absolute difference of 14 years. After accounting for difference in age structure, the adjusted median age at HF diagnosis for veterans without HIV was 63 years, 5 years difference with veterans with HIV (
