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

Background: Ageing trajectories for foreign-born individuals and women living with HIV remain poorly defined globally. This study aimed to characterize foreign-born women living with HIV aged ≥65 years (FWLH) and compare them to age-matched Italian women (IWLH) and foreign-born men living with HIV (FMLH). Methods: Data were drawn from the multicenter Italian geriatric HIV cohort (GEPPO). We described sociodemographic characteristics, viro-immunological status, comorbidities, and multidimensional geriatric assessment in FWLH. A complete case analysis was supplemented by multiple imputation using the mice package with the Predictive Mean Matching (PMM) method, and pooled estimates were derived from regression models, that included an interaction term for sex × birthplace. Results: We included 330 participants: 285 (86.5%) women, 15 (4.5%) FWLH and 30 (9%) FMLH. Comparing FWLH to IWLH, lower CD4+/CD8+ ratio (beta -0.38; 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.79, 0.03; p-value = 0.069) and percentage of CD4 Conclusion: FWLH in a geriatric cohort showed a profile of immune imbalance and higher weight, BMI, and multimorbidity; this may be possibly related to a worse metabolic profile and poorer access to care. However, there was no difference in virological response and antiretroviral therapies. Enhancing our understanding of older FWLH is crucial for promoting person-centered care a patient-centred care and healthy ageing in this population.
