Associations between maternal lipid profiles and cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes among children who are HIV-exposed uninfected vs. HIV-unexposed children aged 5-8 years in a South African birth cohort.
Article in AIDS (London, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the association between maternal gestational lipid biomarkers and cardiometabolic health indicators in children who are HIV-exposed uninfected (CHEU) and HIV-unexposed uninfected children.
designProspective cohort study.
methodsOur study randomly sampled 260 mother-child pairs from Drakenstein Child Health Study ( N = 100 CHEU & N = 160 HIV-unexposed uninfected). Multivariable linear regression were used to assess associations between maternal lipid biomarkers from second trimester of pregnancy with child cardiometabolic indicators at 5-8 years of age and explored potential effect modification by HIV exposure status in stratified analyses. Child cardiometabolic indicators included lipids, glucose metabolism, blood pressure, and body composition.
resultsAssociations were found between maternal total cholesterol (TC) and child TC and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) [TC; mean difference [MD] 0.19, 95% CI 0.09-0.30] & [LDL; MD 0.21, 95% CI 0.12-0.31]. When stratified by HIV exposure status, the relationship between maternal TC and child TC was stronger in CHEU children than in HU children. The relationship between maternal TC and child LDL was also observed to be stronger in CHEU. Maternal high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was associated with the child HDL levels [MD 0.13, 95% CI 0.03-0.23]; when stratified, this association was only demonstrated in HIV-unexposed uninfected children. No significant associations were found between maternal lipids and child HbA1c, insulin resistance, SBP or DBP, or body composition.
conclusionIn a birth cohort of South African CHEU and HU children, maternal gestational lipid profiles was associated with child lipid metabolism, and this relationship may differ based on in-utero HIV exposure status.
