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

backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in the number of deaths among all populations, including people with diagnosed HIV (PWDH). The aim of this study was to analyze the top causes of death (COD) among PWDH before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a year later; to determine changes in the leading COD among PWDH; and to determine whether the historical trend of decreasing deaths related to HIV continued through the pandemic.

methodsTo examine mortality among PWDH in New York State (NYS), records for PWDH who died from 2015 to 2021 were extracted from the NYS HIV registry and Vital Statistics Death Data.

resultsThe number of deaths among PWDH in NYS increased 32% from 2019 to 2020 and continued in 2021. COVID-19 was one of the most common underlying COD among PWDH in 2020. In 2021, COVID-19-related deaths decreased while HIV and diseases of the circulatory system remained the top COD. HIV listed as either the underlying or contributing COD showed a consistent downward trend in the percentage of HIV-related deaths among PWDH, from 45% in 2015 to 32% in 2021.

conclusionsThere was a large increase in deaths among PWDH in 2020, with a substantial percentage related to COVID-19. However, even with the introduction of COVID-19 in 2020, the percentage of deaths related to HIV-one of the goals of the Ending the Epidemic Initiative in NYS-continued to decrease.
