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
objectiveHIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) affects multiple cognitive domains and currently, the neuropsychological testing is the gold standard to identify these deficits. The aim of this longitudinal 12-month pilot study is to determine the effect of intensified combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) on rs-fMRI in virally suppressed (both in CSF and blood) patients with active HAND (those who have progressive neurocognitive impairment) and correlated with neurocognitive function tests.
methodsIn this pilot study, we have evaluated sixteen patients with active HAND with viral suppression in both blood and CSF to study the effect of cART on functional connectivity. Participants underwent rs-fMRI at the baseline (time point-1 (TP-1) and 12-month visits (time point-2 (TP-2)). Connectivity in the five major networks was measured at TP-1 and TP-2 using the seed-based approach. All the participants underwent a five-domain neuropsychological battery at TP-1 and TP-2. Neurocognitive scores (NC) as well as blood and CSF markers were correlated with functional connectivity (FC).
resultsThere was a significant increase in the FC between the two time points within the executive, salience, default mode, dorsal attention, and visual networks at voxel level threshold of p < 0.001 and cluster level threshold of p < 0.05 and corrected for false detection rate (FDR). The neurocognitive scores were positively correlated with all the networks at similar cluster and voxel level thresholds.
conclusionsThese results indicate that rs-fMRI can be potentially used as one of the biomarkers for treatment efficacy in HAND.
