Depressive Symptoms and Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction Among Men and Women with HIV.

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
Background and Aim: The prevalence of depressive symptoms and major depressive disorder is high among adults living with HIV. Depressive symptoms are associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. This study examined the association between depressive symptoms and echocardiographic indices of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) among men and women living with and without HIV. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis included individuals in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) and Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) who participated in transthoracic echocardiogram substudies and completed measures of depressive symptoms at the same visit as, or up to 6 months prior to, the transthoracic echocardiogram visit. Participants had helper T cells (CD4) >350 cells/mm Results: Among 874 men (51% with HIV) and 1,191 women (76% with HIV), in whom the overall prevalence of LVDD was 22.5% and depressive symptoms 30.8%, depressive symptoms were not significantly associated with LVDD. The associations between individual LVDD components and depression were in the small to medium range, though generally not significant. Conclusion: Findings warrant further research regarding the association between LVDD and depressive symptoms in the era of combination antiretroviral therapy.
