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

Introduction: Lymphoma is a significant cause of mortality among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH). The objective of our study was to assess the characteristics of lymphomas in PLWH in a single center from the southeast of Romania. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the prevalence and clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with lymphoma associated with HIV/AIDS monitored over a period of 15 years. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate survival rates and evaluate the risk of mortality in lymphoma patients. Results: Among the 476 new cases of HIV/AIDS registered, 9 cases of lymphoma were identified, representing a prevalence of 1.89%. Overall mortality was 13.6%, with lymphoma contributing to 10.76% of HIV/AIDS-related deaths. The average age at lymphoma diagnosis was 37 years, with most patients being men and smokers with sexually transmitted HIV. Common coinfections included hepatitis B virus (HBV) and tuberculosis. Advanced-stage disease (Ann Arbor stage IV) and type B clinical symptoms were present in half of the cases. Oncological treatment was provided in 5 cases, achieving a survival rate of 30%. Conclusions: The high mortality highlights the need for early diagnosis and an integrated therapeutic approach to improve the prognosis of patients with HIV-associated lymphomas.
