ReviewThe lancet. HIV2023
Advanced HIV disease and health-related suffering-exploring the unmet need of palliative care.
Review in The lancet. HIV, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
With more than 38 million people living with HIV worldwide, the scale-up of antiretroviral therapy ensures nearly 28 million of them receive regular treatment. However, a substantial number of deaths still occur every year from AIDS-related complications, with approximately 680 000 deaths in 2021. Of the estimated 56·8 million people globally in need of palliative care in 2020, only 7 million can access services. Providing palliative care services can help alleviate health-related suffering, such as pain and disease-related symptoms, and improve wellbeing. This Viewpoint discusses the unrealised potential of palliative care in individuals with advanced HIV disease. Key areas of training for health-care workers include appropriate sensitisation, training in palliative care, and effective communication. Advance care planning supports both the individual and their family and is therefore of crucial importance. Integration of palliative care in HIV programmes is needed to address health-related suffering, particularly for advanced HIV disease.
