An Analysis of Peripheral Neuropathy Symptom Characteristics in HIV.
Article in Journal of medicine and healthcare, 2022. 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
objectivesA gap remains in understanding the association among the symptoms of distal sensory peripheral neuropathy (DSPN) (pain, aching, burning, pins and needles, numbness), comorbidities, and medication use among persons living with People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) with DSPN. This report describes the symptom characteristics associated with prescribed treatment regimens (HIV and non-HIV medications) and comorbidities from a cohort of PLWH experiencing symptoms of DSPN who reside in New York City.
methodsOur sample (n=353) included PLWH who were 18 years or older, and with painful lower limb (LL) peripheral neuropathy screened for an ongoing clinical trial to reduce DSPN symptoms using acupuncture/moxibustion. The trial participants completed a screening interview where they reported age, gender, race, ethnicity, HIV status, presence of LL DSPN and DSPN symptoms, current medications, and comorbidities.
resultsOf 465 persons screened, 353 provided information for inclusion in this analysis. Seventy-eight percent rated their LL DSPN in the " DISCUSSION: Combination Antiretroviral Therapies (CART) effectively control viral load and maintain healthy T-cell levels in individuals with HIV. It has made HIV a chronic disease for many. However, HIV DPSN remains prevalent and has a negative impact on the lives of PLWH. Our findings highlight that, despite the availability and the use of CART, DSPN remains prevalent and not well managed. A critical need exists for the development of effective interventions to manage DSPN symptoms.
