Differences in emergency department visit characteristics and resource utilization for persons with human immunodeficiency virus, 2018-2019 compared with 2009-2010.
Article in BMC emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundExtended life expectancy and increased age-related comorbidities among people living with HIV (PWH) have implications for emergency healthcare in the United States (US). This study analyzes a nationally representative sample of emergency department (ED) visits to explore changes in patient characteristics and resource utilization for PWH from 2009 to 10 to 2018-19.
methodsWe conducted a repeated cross-sectional, survey-weighted, and descriptive analysis of pooled ED visit-level data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS).
resultsThe proportion of ED visits increased for PWH aged 55+, males, Hispanics, Medicare recipients, and residents of the South. ED visits for PWH exhibited significant increases in higher acuity levels of care at the triage, hypertensive symptoms, imaging, CT scans, and the number of medications.
conclusionsEDs can benefit from training in HIV and aging and additional clinical staff and support services to adequately address the increased visit frequency and resource utilization associated with the aging of PWH.
