Serotonin Levels in Newly-Infected HIV-Positive: A Preliminary Study.
Article in Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: HIV is still a global health concern worldwide and in 2021, a total of 27,000 newly infected cases were detected in the Indonesian population, specifically among adults. However, there is no available data found about serotonin levels in newly infected cases of HIV. Objective: This study aimed to preliminary investigate serotonin levels in newly-infected HIV-positive cases in the Indonesian population. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional analytic design was used with a total of 54 newly-infected HIV-positive participants who were enrolled using the purposive sampling technique. The questionnaire, blood sampling, and ELISA methods for measuring serotonin were applied. Furthermore, the serotonin distribution was compared based on participants' characteristics using the Mann-Whitney U test. The main effect of characteristics was also tested by the generalized linear model. Results: The mean serotonin level was low and did not differ based on participants' characteristics. Conclusion: Low serotonin level is characteristic of people newly infected with HIV in Indonesia. This might be a manifestation of the depression stage, a consequence of infection, or the involvement in provoking HIV infection progression.
