How Hypertension Rates and HIV Treatment Outcomes Compare between Older Females and Males Enrolled in an HIV Treatment Program in Southern Nigeria: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Tropical medicine and infectious disease, 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
Studies show that treatment outcomes may vary among persons living with HIV. To fast-track the attainment of epidemic control across gender and age groups, the Accelerating Control of the HIV Epidemic (ACE-5) Project implemented in Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers States, Nigeria, examined the hypertension rates and treatment outcomes of older adults living with HIV. The demographic and treatment characteristics of males and females ≥ 50 years living with HIV, who initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) as of September 2021, were abstracted from medical records across 154 health facilities and community sites in Akwa Ibom and Cross River states, Nigeria. We compared these characteristics by sex using the chi-square test. The log-rank test was used to compare differences in their retention (i.e., being on treatment) and viral suppression (VS) rates [<1000 copies/Ml] in September 2022. Of the 16,420 older adults living with HIV (10.8% of the treatment cohort) at the time of the study, 53.8%, and 99.5% were on a first-line ART regimen. Among the 3585 with baseline CD4 documented (21.8% of the cohort), the median [IQR] CD4 count was 496 [286-699] cells/mm
