Evaluation of Cardiovascular Risk Profile and Risk Scores of Antiretroviral Therapy-naïve HIV Patients in Eastern India.
Article in Journal of global infectious diseases. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) are known to have an increased prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study was done to assess the CVD risk factors in treatment naïve PLHIV in a center of the national program. Methods: In this cross-sectional explorative study, traditional CVD risk factors were assessed, and 10-year Framingham and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score were calculated in treatment naïve PLHIV attending the antiretroviral therapy (ART) center, IMS, BHU. Results: The study included 337 ART naïve patients. The prevalence of CVD risk factors in treatment naïve PLHIV - were low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (81.4%), high triglyceride levels (32.7%), smoking (32.3%), obesity (13.6%), hypertension (5%), diabetes (2.7%), and high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (2.1%). Moderate-to-high 10-year Framingham Risk Score and American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology 10-year ASCVD risk score were 10.8% and 8.9%, respectively. In Framingham Risk Score, age ≥40 years (odds ratio [OR] - 131) (95% confidence interval [CI] - 6.5-1043) alcohol intake (OR - 5.14 [95% CI - 1.82-14.46] and presence of tuberculosis (OR - 4.78) (95% CI - 1.48-15.40), while in ASCVD risk score history of alcohol intake (OR - 26.20 [95% CI - 3.1-216.8] were at higher risk of CVD in multivariate variate analysis. Conclusion: CVD risk factors were common among ART naïve patient. Thus, screening, education, and treatment of CVD risk factors should be done in these patients at initiation of care.
