Clinical and Immunological Profiles of HIV/AIDS Patients With First-Line Antiretroviral Treatment Failure Attending a Tertiary Care Hospital.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has decreased morbidity and mortality among HIV/AIDS-infected patients; however, many patients experience treatment failure. The present study aims to evaluate HIV-infected patients' clinical and immunological profiles with first-line antiretroviral treatment (ART) failure (immunological and clinical) at tertiary care hospitals in Northeast India and explore related treatment failure factors. Methods The hospital-based observational study was conducted among HIV-infected patients with first-line ART failure attending a tertiary care hospital from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. The type of first-line ART failure was defined as a clinical, immunological, or virological failure as decided by the State AIDS Clinical Expert Panel (SACEP) meeting. Data were analyzed with Windows MS Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington) and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results Among the 90 HIV-infected patients experiencing first-line ART treatment failure, the majority, 38 (42.2%), were in the age group of 30-40 years, 64 (71.1%) were males, and 70 (77.8%) were of average weight. Tuberculosis was the most typical opportunistic infection, affecting 11 (12.2%) patients. Most patients (38.9%) were initially presented at clinical stage 3. Maximum failures were experienced by patients with baseline CD4 ranging from 100-200 cells/mm
