Analysis on epidemiological characters and HIV care continuum of HIV-infected students: a retrospective cohort study in Shandong province, China.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroudThe proportion of HIV-infected students in China showed an increasing trend. This study aimed to identify the epidemiological characteristics and the HIV care continuum for HIV-infected students in Shandong Province, China.
methodsCase report and follow-up data of HIV-infected students were obtained from the National HIV/AIDS comprehensive response information management system. Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the associating factors of HIV-infected students accepting CD4 + T cells (CD4) test and antiviral therapy (ART) in 30 days, and ArcGIS software was used for the spatial anlysis.
resultsFrom 2017 to 2019, 403 HIV-infected students were reported in Shandong Province. The majority of them were male (99.5%) and transmitted through homosexual sexual activity(92.1%). Most of them lived in Jinan city and Qingdao city. 68.5% (276 cases) accepted CD4 test in 30 days, and 48.6% (196 cases) started ART in 30 days. The heterosexual transmitted cases (AOR = 0.458, 95%CI: 0.210-0.998), patients accepting HIV care in western area (AOR = 0.266,95%CI: 0.147-0.481) were less likely to test CD4 within 30 days; patients aged 23-25 (AOR = 2.316, 95%CI: 1.009-5.316) and patients who had tested CD4 within 30 days (AOR = 4.377; 95%CI: 2.572-7.447) prefered to receive ART within 30 days; patients accepted HIV care in central area (AOR = 0.407; 95%CI: 0.251-0.657) and western area (AOR = 0.508; 95%CI: 0.261-0.989) and patients diagnosed by voluntary blood donation (AOR = 0.352; 95%CI: 0.144-0.864) were less willing to receive ART in 30 days.
conclusionsThe HIV care continuum of HIV-infected students in Shandong Province still needed strenghthing. More health education and case management should be done for cases transmitted through heterosexual behavior, accepted HIV care in central and western area, and diagnosed by voluntary blood donation.
