Multiple Opportunistic Infections as the Initial Presentation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in an Ecuadorian Immigrant.
Article in Cureus, 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
Advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) continues to occur in those with social, educational, and cultural barriers to accessing healthcare. A 27-year-old Ecuadorian man presented with vomiting, epigastric pain, fever, weakness, and weight loss. He had advanced AIDS, with opportunistic infections including disseminated histoplasmosis, cerebral toxoplasmosis, and JC virus brain infection. Despite prior repeated contact with local, US-based healthcare, sexual history and HIV screening were never performed. Missed opportunities to identify HIV infection led to potentially preventable opportunistic infections, despite our current era of widely available, effective antiretroviral therapy.
