Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Impact of HIV on Clinical Presentation, Microbiological and Laboratory Findings, and Outcome.
Observational study in Journal of intensive care medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, but there is a paucity of data regarding these infections in sub-Saharan Africa, especially among people living with HIV (PLWH). This study investigated the impact of HIV on clinical presentation, microbial aetiology, laboratory findings, and outcome of SCAP. This was additional analysis of data from a large, single-centre, retrospective, observational study conducted among consecutive adult patients (≥18 years) admitted to the multidisciplinary ICU at the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital, between 1 July 2007 and 31 May 2019, with SCAP. The current study describes 718 PLWH and 131 HIV-negative cases extracted from the initial cohort. The median age was 37 [IQR 30-46] years with PLWH significantly younger than their HIV-negative counterparts (36 years [IQR 29-44] years vs 52 years [IQR 34-65] years; P < .001). PLWH were more commonly female (P = .053), while more of the HIV-negative patients were male. The median CD
