The Impact of Asymptomatic Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Positive Disease Status on Inpatient Complications Following Spine Surgery: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. 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
In the United States, nearly 1.2 million people > 12 years old have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is associated with postoperative complications following orthopedic procedures. Little is known about how asymptomatic HIV (AHIV) patients fare postoperatively. This study compares complications after common spine surgeries between patients with and without AHIV. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was retrospectively reviewed from 2005-2013, identifying patients aged > 18 years who underwent 2-3-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), ≥4-level thoracolumbar fusion (TLF), or 2-3-level lumbar fusion (LF). Patients with AHIV and without HIV were 1:1 propensity score-matched. Univariate analysis and multivariable binary logistic regression were performed to assess associations between HIV status and outcomes by cohort. 2-3-level ACDF (
