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

This study aimed to ascertain how the current two ART regimens used in Ghana affected HIV patients' coagulation profiles. A case-control study was conducted on 102 HIV positive patients at the Mampong Municipal Hospital. Coagulation parameters measured showed APTT was normal in majority of ART-experienced participants but prolonged in majority of ART-naïve participants. The mean platelet count was significantly higher in ART-experienced participants. No significant differences were found between the coagulation profiles of ART-experienced patients on two different drug regimens. In conclusion, current ART can enhance the coagulation profiles in HIV-infected patients, by improving platelet count and APTT.
