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

backgroundHIV treatment guidelines have evolved to recommend rapid antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. Data on the impact of these changes in the Americas region are scarce.

methodsThis study included data from CCASAnet sites in Brazil, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru. ART-naïve adults who started ART from 2006 to 2022 were included. Trends in CD4 count, tuberculosis (TB), and treatment initiation were described using cumulative probability and logistic and Cox regression models.

findingsTotal 29,881 PLWH met inclusion criteria; 2179 (7.3%) were diagnosed with prevalent TB and 379 (1.2%) with incident TB within six months after ART initiation. For individuals without TB, enrolment CD4 count increased from 160 to 320 cells/mm

conclusionsTime to ART initiation has decreased in the CCASAnet consortium, with the majority of PLWH now starting ART within a week after enrolment. There has also been a decline in the prevalence and incidence of concurrent TB disease.
