Late diagnosis of HIV among Ukrainian refugees in the Czech Republic: A retrospective, observational study.
Observational study in HIV medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesThis retrospective, observational, non-interventional study describes the demographics, characteristics, immunological and virological status, coinfections, healthcare unit of HIV diagnosis and follow-up status of Ukrainian refugees with newly diagnosed HIV in the Czech Republic, with a special focus on those with a late HIV diagnosis.
methodsUkrainian nationals with war refugee status, Ukrainian nationals with Czech Republic resident status and Czech Republic nationals who newly registered at HIV centres in the Czech Republic between March 2022 and June 2023 with a new diagnosis of HIV were included. Data were collected from medical records. The study was registered with the Czech State Institute for Drug Control (ID 2401240000).
resultsIn total, 298 patients with a new HIV diagnosis were included in the study. Of these, 58 patients were Ukrainian refugees who were retained in care. This cohort had a mean age of 37.0 years (min-max 13-60) and most (62.1%) were women. More than half of the Ukrainian refugees in this study (60.3%) had a late HIV diagnosis; these patients were older than those with a prompt diagnosis (mean age 40.7 vs. 31.5 years, p < 0.001). Ukrainian refugees were infrequently diagnosed in primary care and significantly more likely to have a late HIV diagnosis (60.3% vs. 37.8%, p = 0.005) and be diagnosed at a later HIV stage (p = 0.021) than Czech nationals.
conclusionUkrainian refugees were more likely to have a late HIV diagnosis than Czech nationals.
