Evaluation of Cardiac Findings in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Article in Anatolian journal of cardiology, 2025. 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
objectiveAlthough opportunistic infections and malignancies have declined due to antiretroviral therapy, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) has increased. This study examines early markers of CVD using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed at rest and after a 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) in PWH. This prospective study was conducted in Türkiye between 2019 and 2022.
methodsThe PWH and healthy individuals were evaluated for demographic and laboratory analysis and examined using TTE at rest and after 6-MWT.
resultsThe interventricular septum (IVS) and posterior wall (PW) were significantly thicker in the PWH group than in healthy controls. Pulmonary pulse transit time (pPTT) was markedly reduced in PWH (127.5 ms vs. 457 ms, P < .001). In the PWH group, the E/e' ratio increased after 6-MWT [6.26 (IQR: 5.1-7.3) vs. 5.9 (IQR: 4.9-6.9) at rest (P = .028)]. The PWH with CD4+ counts <350/mm3 exhibited a higher E/e' ratio [6.91 (IQR: 5.05-8.62)] than those with CD4+ counts >350/mm3 [5.41 (IQR: 4.87-6.17); P = .035]. A weak inverse correlation was observed between CD4+ count and E/e' ratio (P = .010, r = -0.348).
conclusionsThe IVS thickness, PW thickness, E/e' ratio, and pPTT may serve as valuable parameters for the early detection of CVD in PWH. Changes in diastolic indices may offer insights into disease progression. The pPTT may be a promising marker for evaluating the pulmonary vascular status and right ventricular function. These findings underscore the need for further research into the diagnostic and prognostic utility of diastolic parameters and pPTT in the clinical management of PWH.
