Effect of hospitalization on cognitive and physical function in people with HIV.
Article in AIDS (London, England), 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
backgroundHospitalization contributes to cognitive and physical decline among older adults. We aimed to determine the impact of hospitalization on cognitive and physical function among people with HIV (PWH).
methodsParticipants who had been hospitalized and had cognitive or physical function assessments were included. Cognitive function (a composite of Z -scores for three cognitive tests; NPZ3), gait speed, and grip strength slope differences before and after hospitalization were adjusted for potential confounding variables.
resultsOf 892 participants, 208 had ≥1 hospitalization: 198 had NPZ3 scores and 197 had gait/grip measures. The median age was 58 years, 37% were Black, and 14% Hispanic; median CD4 was 656 cells/mm 3 , 94% had HIV-1 <200 copies/ml. The NPZ-3 slope difference after vs. before hospitalization was -0.071 per year (95% CI = -0.167, 0.026), with significant difference among those admitted for 3-6 days (-0.177 [95% CI -0.336, -0.018]) but not <3 or >6 days. The grip strength slope difference was -0.626 kg per year (95% CI -1.749, 0.497), with significant decline among those admitted for 3-6 days (-1.60 kg per year [95% CI -3.04, -1.52], P = 0.03) but not <3 or >6 days. The gait speed increase was significant among those admitted for 3-6 days (0.044 m/s [0.005,0.083], P = 0.03) but not for those with <3 or >6 days.
conclusionsIntermediate duration of hospitalization was associated with modest declines in posthospitalization cognitive function (predominantly psychomotor performance) and grip strength.
