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

purposeThis study aimed to determine if people living with HIV (PLWH) in preclinical human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND), with no clinical symptoms and without decreased daily functioning, suffer from brain volumetric alterations and its patterns.

methodFifty-nine male PLWH at the HAND preclinical stage were evaluated, including 19 subjects with asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment (ANI), 17 subjects with cognitive abnormality that does not reach ANI (Not reach ANI), and 23 subjects with cognitive integrity. Moreover, 23 healthy volunteers were set as the seronegative normal controls (NCs). These individuals underwent sagittal three-dimensional T

resultsThe significant difference was shown in the relative volumes of the ventricular system, bilateral lateral ventricle, thalamus, caudate, and left parietal lobe gray matter between the preclinical HAND and NCs. Furthermore, the relative volumes of the bilateral thalamus in preclinical HAND were negatively correlated with attention/working memory (left:
