The Negative Impact of Maternal HIV Infection on Birth Outcomes-Myth or Reality?

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
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection during pregnancy poses significant risks to both maternal and child health, with potential adverse effects on perinatal outcomes. This study aimed to compare perinatal outcomes, including birth weight, length, Apgar scores, and prematurity rates, between HIV-exposed, uninfected (HEU) children and HIV-unexposed, uninfected (HUU) children. A total of 204 neonates were included in the study, comprising 102 born to HIV-positive mothers and 102 born to uninfected mothers. Our findings revealed significant differences in birth weight (
