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

The cancer risk of people with HIV (PWH) enrolled in the Italian COhort of Naives to Antiretrovirals (ICONA) with HIV diagnosis occurred between 01/1997 and 12/2023 has been compared to that of the corresponding general population of Italy. Incident cancers were grouped according to their association with viral infections. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were estimated as the ratio between the observed number of cancers among PWH and the expected ones among the general population. Competing risks cumulative incidence curves and Gray's test were used to compare incidence between groups (gender and CD4+ T-cells values at diagnosis) with death as a competing risk. Overall, 17,298 PWH (79.1% males) contributing to 133,851 person-years of follow-up were included; 763 (4.4%) developed > = 1 incident cancers, the most frequent cancers being KS (N = 204), NHL (N = 127) and lung-trachea-bronchus (N = 66). PWH were at 1.6-times higher risk for all cancers compared to the general population (SIR = 1.6, 95% CI: 1.5-1.8), with significantly increased SIR for almost all virus-related cancers, including KS (SIR = 145), NHL (SIR = 5.8), ICC (SIR = 6.0), anal cancer (SIR = 21.0) and Hodgkin lymphoma (SIR = 10.0). Apart from lung cancer risk (SIR = 1.3), none of the non-virus-related cancers turned out to be more frequent among PWH. PWH with CD4 + <200 cells/mm
