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

HIV-2 is endemic in certain regions, particularly West Africa. A 64-year-old Ghanaian male, who had previously lived in Canada and had been residing in Türkiye for the past 10 years, was diagnosed with HIV-2 while living in Canada but had not received antiretroviral therapy. HIV-2 infection was confirmed by fourth-generation ELISA and Geenius™ assay, which demonstrated gp36 and gp140 positivity. The 'in-house' HIV-2 proviral DNA test was also positive. Over a three-month follow-up period, HIV-2 RNA remained negative, and CD4+ T lymphocyte levels showed no decline. To the best of our knowledge, this patient is the third reported HIV-2 case in Türkiye.
