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

We describe the case of a 36-year-old man diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) following prolonged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia. The patient had a complication of pneumocystis pneumonia. Upon initiating highly active antiretroviral therapy, we monitored HIV RNA levels, CD4+ T-cell count, SARS-CoV-2 viral load, and IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. At 167 days post SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, the patient's CD4+ T-cell count increased to 180 cells/μL. IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 were undetectable despite a decreased SARS-CoV-2 viral load. HIV screening is necessary in cases of prolonged SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia or persistent SARS-CoV-2 shedding. When diagnosed with HIV infection, it is advisable to consider the possibility of pneumocystis pneumonia.
