Longitudinal outcomes following peripheral vascular intervention among older persons living with HIV.

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
backgroundPersons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, PLWH) have an increased risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in comparison to the general population. However, a gap remains in understanding optimal management for this condition. This study assesses longitudinal outcomes associated with peripheral endovascular intervention (PVI) for PAD among PLWH.
methodsAll Medicare fee-for-service patients undergoing femoropopliteal artery PVI between April 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018 were identified and stratified by HIV serostatus. The primary outcome was major adverse limb events (MALE), defined as major amputation or arterial embolism/thrombosis following an index procedure. The subdistribution hazard was used to evaluate the association between HIV serostatus and MALE, accounting for the competing risk of death. Results were adjusted for sociodemographics and major comorbidities.
resultsOf 168,553 patients who underwent PVI, 357 (0.21%) were PLWH. The average age was 77.0 ± 7.6 years; 80.3% had hypertension, 70.3% had hyperlipidemia, and 24.6% had tobacco use disorder. Compared to those without HIV, PLWH were younger and had a higher burden of cardiovascular risk factors. MALE were substantially more frequent among PLWH, with a cumulative incidence of 24.6%, compared to 14.5% among those without HIV. The adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio was 1.26 (95% CI 1.00-1.58,
conclusionAmong US Medicare beneficiaries, PLWH had poorer long-term outcomes following PVI. Greater attention to the management of symptomatic PAD is warranted for the HIV population, particularly following revascularization.
