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

objectivesWe aimed to describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL), overall and across its dimensions, identify associated factors, and assess changes over time among people with HIV (PWH) from the Spanish multicentre CoRIS cohort.

methodsWe developed a mobile app to collect HRQoL data every 3 months using the WHOQOL-HIV-BREF questionnaire (31 items across six domains), among PWH followed in CoRIS in 2021-2023. Factors associated with good/very good global HRQoL and with domain-specific mean scores were identified using multivariable logistic and linear regression, respectively.

resultsOf 414 PWH (94.2% on antiretroviral treatment, 91.1% virally suppressed), 51.2% reported good/very good HRQoL. Latin American migrants (adjusted OR: 0.60 [95% CI: 0.36; 1.00]), and participants with lower educational level (0.36 [0.21; 0.64]), a previous AIDS diagnosis (0.56 [0.29; 1.11]) and a history of non-AIDS-related cancers (0.40 [0.14; 1.14]) were less likely to report good/very good global HRQoL. The most affected items included sexual satisfaction, forgiveness and blame, sleep and rest, and concerns about the future, with spirituality, religion and personal beliefs as the most affected domain. Latin American origin, lower educational level and shorter (<2 years) or longer (>15 years) time since HIV diagnosis were associated with poorer HRQoL in specific domains. No significant changes in HRQoL were observed after 12 months except slightly higher scores in physical health.

conclusionsOnly half of PWH reported good/very good global HRQoL. This highlights the need to develop targeted strategies to improve HRQoL among PWH, focusing on addressing the most affected dimensions and supporting the most vulnerable groups.
