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

objectiveThe COVID-19 pandemic indirectly affected other communicable diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the epidemiological surveillance of HIV through epidemiological indicators.

methodsData collected in the New HIV Diagnosis Information System (SINIVIH, acronym in Spanish) in the period 2013-2021 was analyzed. The epidemiological indicators analyzed were: 1) Reporting delay of new diagnoses; 2) Under diagnosis of cases, calculated per month of diagnosis and for each year of diagnosis; 3) Late diagnosis, cases diagnosed with less than 350 CD4 cell/mm

resultsRegarding the reporting delay of new diagnoses, in 2022 2,770 diagnoses were reported in 2020, 43.8% more than those reported in 2021 for that year. The cases diagnosed per month between 2016 and 2019 followed a constant trend. In 2020, a significant decrease in diagnoses was observed between March and May that was not recovered after correcting for reporting delay. When comparing the rates of cases diagnosed in 2013 with the successive years, a continuous decrease was interrupted in the last year of the study period. The percentage of cases with late diagnosis had remained stable in the study period (between 46% and 50%), and a decrease in this percentage was observed after correcting for reporting delay.

conclusionsThe epidemiological surveillance of HIV suffered a significant reporting delay. A decrease in cases diagnosed is confirmed, partly due to lockdown and lack of access to the health system. Changes on late diagnosis is not observed.
