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

BackgroundMigrants face an increased risk of HIV infection and late presentation for HIV care.AimTo examine delays in HIV diagnosis, linkage to care (LTC), and risk of late presentation for migrants living with HIV in Denmark.MethodsWe conducted a population-based, nationwide study of adult migrants (n = 2,166) presenting for HIV care between 1 January 1995 and 31 December 2020 in Denmark. Time from immigration to HIV diagnosis and from diagnosis to LTC, and late presentation were assessed, stratified by migrants' geographical regions of origin, using descriptive statistics.ResultsThe demographics of the migrant population changed over time. Overall, migrants diagnosed with HIV after immigration to Denmark resided a median of 3.7 (IQR: 0.8-10.2) years in Denmark before diagnosis. Median time from HIV diagnosis to LTC was 6 (IQR: 0-24) days. Migrants diagnosed with HIV infection before immigration had a median of 38 (IQR: 0-105) days from arrival in Denmark to LTC. The corresponding median times for 2015-20 alone were 4.1 (IQR: 0.9-13.1) years, 0 (IQR: 0-8) days, and 62 (IQR: 25-152) days, respectively. The overall proportion of late presentation among migrants diagnosed with HIV after immigration was 60%, and highest among migrants from sub-Saharan Africa and East and South Asia.ConclusionHIV diagnosis is still substantially delayed in Danish migrants, while LTC is timely. The proportions with late presentation are high. These results call for targeted interventions to reduce the number of migrants with undiagnosed HIV infections and of late presenters.
