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

Purpose: Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining health and improving people's overall quality of life living with HIV; improving metabolic side effects associated with taking highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). This study investigated physical activity levels and associated factors among HIV/AIDS patients. Patients and Methods: A single-center, cross-sectional study was conducted from July to September 2021. A convenience sample of 377 HIV/AIDS patients was recruited from a medical center in Zhuhai, China. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires and patients' medical records. Results: The average physical activity of HIV/AIDS patients was 1007.15±868.63 met-min/w; 53.8% of patients expressed medium-level activity, and 46.2% in low-level activity. Log-link gamma generalized linear model results showed that gender, T-CD4 Conclusion: Nearly half of HIV/AIDS patients have low levels of physical activity. In particular, women and patients with lower CD4 cells, lower self-efficacy, and more perceived barriers had lower levels of physical activity. More knowledge is needed on the causes of physical inactivity among people with HIV, and physical activity programs need to be developed for people living with HIV in developing countries.
