The Impact of Timing of Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation on Retention in Care, Viral Load Suppression and Mortality in People Living with HIV: A Study in a University Hospital in Thailand.

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
Studies investigating same-day antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation demonstrate different clinical outcomes depending on settings. We retrospectively reviewed adults with newly positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody testing. The proportion of individuals who were retained in care at 12 months was compared between early (≤2 weeks) and late (>2 weeks) ART initiation groups. Of all, the median (IQR) time from HIV diagnosis to ART initiation was 18 (9-30) days. This duration was 7 (7-13) days in the early ART initiation group (n = 116) and 28 (21-46) days in the late ART initiation group (n = 154). In the multivariate logistic regression, having pneumocystis pneumonia [odds ratio (OR) 9.30, 95% CI 2.56-33.75], tuberculosis (OR 2.21, 95% CI 1.03-4.73), and weight loss (OR 12.98, 95% CI 1.00-167.68) were associated with late ART initiation. The early ART initiation group had a slightly higher proportion of individuals retained in care at 12 months than those in the late ART initiation group (88.8% vs 80.5%,
