Aetiology of sepsis in adults living with HIV in East Africa: a secondary analysis of an open-label, multicentre, randomised, controlled phase 3 trial.

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
Background: Sepsis in people living with HIV (PLWH) in East Africa has high mortality. Regionally, the etiology of sepsis is incompletely understood. We performed a planned analysis of the microbiological data obtained from a randomised clinical trial of early empiric anti- Methods: We present a prespecified, secondary analysis of a phase three, open-label, multicentre, randomised, controlled trial conducted at four regional referral hospitals in Tanzania and Uganda. Participants were adults living with HIV admitted with concern for infection and a modified quick sepsis-related organ failure assessment (qSOFA) ≥2. Participants were randomised to (1) immediate or diagnosis-dependent antituberculosis therapy and to (2) high-dose or conventional-dose antituberculosis therapy. Tests for sepsis etiology included bacterial blood and urine cultures, multi-pathogen qPCR from blood, GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra from sputum and urine, urine lipoarabinomannan (LF-LAM), and Findings: From January 5, 2022 through December 9, 2024, we randomised 437 participants to receive immediate and/or high dose antituberculosis therapy.
