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

Introduction: A number of individual studies in Africa reporting the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among people living with HIV are becoming more common. This analysis aims to combine existing prevalence data from various countries across Africa, providing a comprehensive overview of CKD among adults living with HIV. Methods: This study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The research protocol was registered on PROSPERO with the reference number CRD42024629601. Various databases, including PubMed, Cochrane, Science Direct, Global Index Medicus, and Google Scholar, were explored for relevant literature from 2000 to December 10, 2024. The data were initially organized in Excel and then analyzed via STATA V.17. Heterogeneity among studies was assessed through statistical methods such as the Cochrane Q test and Results: A total of 26 studies involving 15,893 study participants were included in the analysis. The pooled prevalence of CKD among adult HIV patients in Africa was 17.2% (95% CI [13.4, 21.0]), indicating significant heterogeneity ( Conclusion: The prevalence of CKD among adult HIV patients in Africa is a significant concern. These findings highlight the urgent need for regular CKD screenings and standardized diagnostic methods.
