Risk of Psychiatric Morbidity in People Living With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 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
objectiveThe incidence of psychiatric illnesses might be higher in individuals people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) than in individuals without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We aimed to investigate whether PLWH had different risks of psychiatric morbidities in comparison to non-HIV-infected individuals.
methodsThis study included all PLWH in South Korea between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. The control group, which had never been diagnosed with HIV, was selected using a 1:10 stratified random sampling technique, considering age and sex. The endpoint of this study was new diagnosis of psychiatric morbidities which were diagnosed from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022.
resultsAfter conducting a 1:5 propensity score (PS) matching process, the final analysis comprised a group of 17,815 PLWH and 78,021 control subjects. In the PS-matched cohort, the incidence rate of psychiatric morbidity in PLWH was 5,677.7 per 100,000 per year, whereas that in the controls was 4,926.3 per 100,000 per year. In Cox regression in the PS-matched cohort, PLWH showed 17% (hazard ratio, 1.17; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-1.21; p<0.001) higher risk of psychiatric morbidity than controls. Specifically, PLWH showed higher risk of depression, mania, bipolar disorder, insomnia disorder, substance use disorder, and schizophrenia compared to controls.
conclusionPLWH had a greater likelihood of experiencing psychiatric morbidities compared to those without HIV in South Korea. Our research findings indicate the importance of public health policy in addressing the declining mental health of individuals living with HIV.
