Metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease predicts incident liver fibrosis in people with HIV mono-infection: A cohort study.
Observational study in HIV medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02542020 (Prospective Evaluation of HIV Infected Patients Followed at Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Disease), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
introductionMetabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MASLD) might progress to cirrhosis. We aimed to evaluate the association of MASLD with the risk of developing clinically significant fibrosis (CSF) in people living with HIV (PLWH).
methodsPLWH have been followed up since 2015 in the PROSPEC-HIV cohort (NCT02542020) with questionnaires, blood samples, and transient elastography (TE) on the same day. Participants with viral hepatitis, who were c-ART naïve, those with CSF at baseline or unreliable TE examinations and who lost follow-up were excluded. Liver steatosis and fibrosis were assessed by TE-Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) and TE-liver stiffness measurement (LSM), respectively. MASLD was defined as the presence of steatosis (CAP ≥263 dB/m) at baseline with at least one cardiometabolic risk factor without hazardous alcohol intake [Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) score <8]. The primary outcome was the development of CSF (LSM ≥8.0 kPa) during follow-up. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards multivariate models were performed.
resultsA total of 304 participants with HIV mono-infection under c-ART and without liver fibrosis (43.4% male, median [interquartile range, IQR] age = 44 [IQR, 36-52] and body mass index [BMI] = 25.6 [23.0-29.0] kg/m
conclusionMASLD increased the risk of liver fibrosis in people with HIV mono-infection under c-ART.
