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
introductionThe prevalence of sleep disorders in people living with HIV (PLWH) is higher than in the general population. Even if viral suppression is achieved with Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), the chronic immune activation and increased inflammation due to immune reconstitution persist. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of poor quality of sleep (QoS) and associated risk factors in PLWH and to investigate the relationship between poor QoS and CD4 T lymphocyte count and CD4 reconstitution.
methodsPLWH ≥18 years old, attending for routine HIV monitoring were recruited. PLWH with conditions that may affect their QoS (pregnant, hospitalized, malignancy, substance-alcohol abuse, psychiatric disease or treatment, sleeping pill) were excluded. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI, score ≥5 indicates poor QoS), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS, score ≥11 indicates daytime sleepiness), and Beck Depression Scale (BDS, score ≥10 indicates clinical depression) were applied. CD4+ T lymphocyte reconstitution (current-baseline CD4+ count) and CD4+ T lymphocyte reconstitution rate [(current-baseline CD4+ count)/duration of HIV infection in years] were calculated for PLWH on ART. Student t-test and Pearson's chi-squared test were used for analysing the data, and p<0.05 was considered significant.
resultsA total of 131 (15 newly diagnosed, 116 on ART for at least six months) PLWH were enrolled. Poor QoS was detected in 60.3% of PLWH. When compared, the ratio was higher in newly diagnosed PLWH (vs PLWH on ART, p>0,05). Daytime sleepiness in PLWH with poor Qos (p=0.04) was significantly increased (vs good QoS). Clinical depression (p=0.001) was significantly more common in PLWH with poor QoS (vs good QoS). Although statistically nonsignificant (p>0,05), younger age, female sex, being single, homosexüel sexual preference, high income and living with the family were associated with poor QoS. No association was found between the ART regime and QoS. PLWH with poor QoS had a higher CD4+ T lymphocyte count (p>0,05), a higher number of CD4+ T lymphocyte reconstitution (p<0.05), and a higher reconstitution rate than PLWH with good QoS (p<0.05).
conclusionPrevalence of poor QoS was high in our cohort. Poor QoS was associated with CD4+ T lymphocyte reconstitution and reconstitution rate.
