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

Older age and HIV disease are independent risk factors for problems in many aspects of everyday functioning. However, less is known about how these risk factors may combine to influence everyday functioning over time. The current study examined the possible combined effects of age and HIV serostatus on change in everyday functioning over a 1-year period and its specific associations with changes in neurocognition. A repeated measures factorial design was employed. Participants included 77 older persons with HIV (PWH), 35 younger PWH, 44 older HIV-, and 27 younger HIV-adults who each completed baseline and follow-up visits approximately 14 months apart. Everyday functioning was assessed using a standardized self-report measure of activities of daily living (ADLs) at each visit. A comprehensive clinical battery assessed six domains of neurocognition. Raw scores on each neurocognitive measure were converted to sample-based z-scores, from which a global neurocognitive z-score was derived. Older PWH reported the poorest everyday functioning at baseline and follow-up visits at medium-to-large effect sizes. However, these ADL disruptions among older PWH were relatively stable over time, differing significantly from younger PWH who evidenced mild ADL improvements from baseline to follow-up. Within the entire sample, everyday functioning at baseline predicted neurocognitive performance at follow-up, but the reciprocal relationship was not significant. Older adults with HIV have high rates of ADL problems, which appear stable over 1 year, the trajectory of which differed from younger adults with HIV for whom mild improvements were observed. Importantly, the results also suggest that problems with ADLs may sometimes precede neurocognitive declines. Further examination of longitudinal data is needed to elucidate the long-term trajectory of neurocognitive and functional changes in older PWH to support early detection and proper management of clinical care.
