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

backgroundThe association of anemia as a predictive and prognostic indicator of non-AIDS-defining cancer (NADC) among people with HIV (PWH) remains unknown. We evaluated the presence of anemia and its severity as a predictor of NADC and 5-year all-cause survival after an NADC diagnosis among PWH who had initiated antiretroviral therapy.

settingNorth American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design (NA-ACCORD).

methodsWe included PWH (≥18 years) on ART between January 01, 2007, and December 31, 2016, with no prior cancer diagnosis. Annual median hemoglobin was categorized into mild (11.0-12.9 g/dL men, 11.0-11.9 g/dL women) and moderate/severe (<10.9 g/dL regardless of sex) anemia. Discrete time-to-event models using a complementary log-log link estimated crude and adjusted hazards ratios (aHR) and 95% confidence intervals for NADC by anemia severity. Five-year mortality after NADC diagnosis by anemia was evaluated.

resultsAmong 67,228 PWH contributing 301,421 annual median hemoglobin observations, 244,658 (81%) were not anemic, 40,134 (13%) had mild, and 16,629 (6%) had moderate/severe anemia. The risk of NADC was higher among PWH with anemia (aHR 2.40 [2.19 to 2.63]) (vs. no anemia) and greater among men (aHR 2.42 [2.20 to 2.66]) than women (aHR 2.02 [1.42 to 2.89]). NADC risk increased with worsening anemia (mild: aHR 2.01 [1.81 to 2.23], moderate/severe: aHR 3.59 [3.13 to 4.11]). The 5-year all-cause mortality after NADC diagnosis was higher (aHR 1.37 [1.21 to 1.55]) among PWH with anemia.

conclusionsAmong PWH who initiated ART, anemia may serve as a predictive indicator of NADC risk. Identification of anemia should warrant investigations into the underlying etiology, including evaluation for NADC. Anemia is also a prognostic indicator among PWH diagnosed with NADC.
