Is there a relationship between the route of HIV transmission and cognitive performance in older individuals living with HIV?

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-related neurocognitive disorders are a growing public health issue, especially in older people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between cognitive performance and route of HIV transmission in an older group of PLWHA.
methods- In this cross-sectional study, conducted between November 2022 and July 2023, we enrolled PLWHA aged 50 years or older, treated with highly active anti-retroviral therapy, and with a low/undetectable viral load. Cognitive assessment was performed with HIV Dementia Scale.
resultsIn total, 268 subjects were enrolled. Cognitive impairment was present in 20.9% of the participants. According to a logistic model, people who contracted HIV through sexual transmission had 74% lower odds of cognitive impairment compared to those who contracted HIV through intravenous substance use (OR: 0.26, 95%CI 0.12-0.56). The adjustment for confounders confirmed lower odds for sexual transmission (OR: 0.27, 95%CI 0.12-0.60).
conclusionsThe route of HIV transmission is potentially associated with cognitive impairment in PLWHA, with patients infected via intravenous substance use being at higher risk.
