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

Background: This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in people living with HIV (PWH) in Maputo, Mozambique, exploring the interactions between HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and toxoplasmosis, including HIV-related factors such as the World Health Organization (WHO) HIV/AIDS clinical stage, degree of immunosuppression based on CD4 Methods: We conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional study of 200 patients aged >18 years who were admitted to Maputo Central Hospital, Maputo, Mozambique, between March 2020 and October 2021. The participants were recruited by convenience, regardless of the reason for their admission. Sociodemographic and clinical data, such as age, sex, WHO HIV/AIDS stage, and CD4 Results: Participants were aged 18-72 years, with the majority being female (64%) and unemployed (57%). Overall, 54.5% of patients tested positive for at least one anti- Conclusion: Toxoplasmosis may contribute to NPD in PWH patients. Further studies are recommended to better understand the complex interactions between
