Bone Accrual Trajectories in Children and Adolescents With Perinatal HIV Infection.
Article in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01418014 (Adolescent Master Protocol), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
contextLow bone mineral density (BMD) has been reported in children and adolescents living with perinatally acquired HIV (PHIV). Little is known about their bone accrual through puberty compared to an uninfected healthy cohort.
objectiveTo compare bone accrual in PHIV and healthy children.
designPHIV children aged 7 to 16 years had dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at entry, at 2 years, and then at least 2 years later. Bone accrual was compared to healthy children from the Bone Mineral Density in Childhood Study (BMDCS).
settingUS academic clinical research centers. PATIENTS: 172 PHIV; 1321 BMDCS. ANALYSIS: We calculated height-adjusted whole-body and spine BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) Z-scores in PHIV using BMDCS reference curves. We fit piecewise weighted linear mixed effects models with change points at 11 and 15 years, adjusted for age, sex, race, height Z-score, and Tanner stage, to compare BMD and BMC Z-scores across actual age by cohort.
main outcome measureBMD/BMC Z-scores.
resultsHeight-adjusted whole-body BMD and BMC Z-scores in PHIV were lower across age compared to BMDCS children. Spine BMD Z-score across age was higher in PHIV after height adjustment. Whole-body and spine bone area tended to be lower in PHIV children. PHIV children had slower accrual in whole-body and spine bone area before 14 years. After 15 years, bone area accruals were similar, as were height-adjusted spine BMC Z-scores, across age.
conclusionPHIV children had persistent deficits in all measures except height-adjusted spine BMD and BMC Z-scores. Data are needed on PHIV children followed to adulthood.
