HIV Infection and Long COVID: A RECOVER Program, Electronic Health Record-Based Cohort Study.

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
backgroundPeople with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be at increased risk for long COVID after acute severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We investigated the association between HIV and long COVID in 2 large electronic health record databases.
methodsUsing data from the Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet) and the National Clinical Cohort Collaborative (N3C) from 1 January 2018 to 30 April 2024, our analytic sample included individuals aged ≥21 years with SARS-CoV-2. All individuals were classified as having HIV or not. We estimated the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of long COVID by HIV status using logistic regression. Multivariable models controlled for potential associated factors and used 2 cohort definitions: a computed phenotype definition or ICD-10 code-based definition.
resultsWe included 1 369 896 patients from PCORnet (11 964 with and 1 357 932 without HIV) and 3 312 355 patients from N3C (23 931 with and 3 288 424 without HIV). Using the computed phenotype definition of long COVID, we noted a small, but significant, increase in odds of developing long COVID among people with compared to those without HIV (PCORnet: aOR, 1.09 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.04-1.14]; N3C: aOR, 1.18 [95% CI, 1.13-1.23]). Using the ICD-10 definition of long COVID, there was no association between HIV and long COVID (PCORnet: aOR, 1.01 [95% CI, .88-1.16]; N3C: aOR, 1.07 [95% CI, .97-1.18]).
conclusionsIn this large multicenter study, people with HIV had a modestly increased risk of long COVID when defined by a computed phenotype, but not when using ICD-10 codes. These findings suggest that long COVID may be underrecognized in people with HIV and underscore challenges in diagnosing long COVID in populations with baseline chronic conditions.
