[Association of systemic lupus and HIV/AIDS: nine observations at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Libreville (Gabon)].
Article in Medecine tropicale et sante internationale, 2024. 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
Background: HIV/AIDS infection is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa. It is manifested by a variety of opportunistic diseases that usually occur when the CD4 count is below 200/mm Material and methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study conducted from 1 June 2016 to 30 April 2024 at the Department of Internal Medicine of the CHU of Libreville. All patients with this association were identified to specify the different characteristics. Results: Nine female patients with an average age of 36 years were identified. Systemic lupus was associated with the diagnosis of HIV1 disease (n = 1) or occurred after the initiation of antiretroviral treatment (n = 6) or a new line of antiretroviral treatment (n = 2), with a mean CD4 count at diagnosis of 284.5/mm Discussion and conclusion: There is a structural similarity at the origin of autoantibody production in HIV1 and systemic lupus, with clinical, biological and immunological signs that are sometimes superimposed, which may make the diagnosis of this association difficult.
