Association between late access to care and mortality for PWH: insights from the French Hospital Database on HIV (ANRS CO4-FHDH) from 2002 to 2016.

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
Introduction: Using three categories of stages of HIV disease at access to care (advanced, intermediate, early HIV disease), we explored the impact of delayed access on the risk of death at up to 5 years and whether progress in antiretroviral regimens has mitigated this impact. Methods: Adults from the French Hospital Database on HIV (ANRS CO4-FHDH) cohort with HIV-1 infection and first access to care during 2002-2021 were included. To study the impact of the stage of HIV disease at first access to care on the risk of death, only participants included from 2002 to 2016 were analysed to allow for at least 5 years of follow-up until 31 December 2021. Fine and Gray competing risk models considering lost to follow-up as a competing event were used adjusting for age, gender, mode of acquisition, region of origin, time between diagnosis and access to care, period of access to care (2002-2013 vs 2014-2016). Results: Among the 64 400 people living with HIV included, 18 305 (28.4%) had advanced and 13 042 (20.3%) intermediate HIV disease. The 5-year cumulative incidence of death was estimated as 1.8% (95% CI 1.7% to 1.9%) overall, from 0.9% (0.8% to 1.0%) for those with early HIV disease to 6.0% (5.4% to 6.7%) for those with AIDS. People with AIDS had a much higher risk of death than those with early HIV disease, with a sub-distribution HR (sHR) of 18.4 (95% CI 12.0 to 28.4) in the first 6 months of follow-up, which remained significant at 48-60 months: sHR=2.1 (1.3 to 3.3). The risk of death was higher for the other categories of advanced HIV disease but to a smaller extent. The risk of death was not statistically different depending on the calendar period. Conclusions: Delayed access to care remains associated with an elevated risk of death, even after 48 months. There was no significant improvement in the risk of death after 2014 when immediate initiation of combined antiretroviral therapy was recommended and integrase strand transfer inhibitor-based regimens became the preferred first-line.
