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: HIV infection itself and antiretroviral therapy (ART) can lead to the impaired kidney function that in turn can significantly impact the quality of life and clinical outcomes in people living with HIV. In this study, we evaluated kidney function status in Rwandan people using serum creatinine levels which were lacking in the existing reports. Objective: To determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of kidney impairment in patients infected with HIV attending Kabutare level II teaching hospital in southern Rwanda. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out on 179 HIV infected and 179 uninfected patients. Weight and height were measured and a blood sample was drawn from each participant for measurement of serum creatinine. Statistical tools were used to determine the association between kidney impairment and participants characteristics. Results: Among the 358 participants, 19% HIV positive and 1.7% HIV uninfected participants had GFR impairment. Gender (χ Conclusion: Patients infected with HIV are at higher risk of developing kidney impairment compared to the HIV uninfected. Routine surveillance of kidney function in patients infected with HIV is paramount.
