Comparison of the Prevalence of Obesity and Overweight Among Adults With HIV and the Adult General Population in Korea.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 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
backgroundThis study compared the prevalence of overweight and obesity in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) with the general population and the trend of overweight/obesity in PLWH and the general population from 2009 to 2020.
methodsA total of 10,980 PLWH aged ≥ 20 years with national health examination records and 76,783 adults in the general adult population of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included. The overall and yearly obesity and overweight prevalence rates and standardized prevalence ratios are described.
resultsThe prevalence of obesity and overweight in PLWH during 2009-2020 was 27.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 27.0-28.7%) and 23.1% (95% CI, 22.3-23.9%), while those in the general population were 33.7% (95% CI, 33.7-33.7%) and 22.8% (95% CI, 22.8-22.8%), with identical bounds reflecting the high precision facilitated by the large sample size. During 2009-2020, the standardized prevalence ratio of obesity and overweight in the PLWH compared with that in the general population was 0.70 (95% CI, 0.68-0.73) and 0.92 (95% CI, 0.89-0.96). The annual percent change in obesity prevalence was 3.0% annually (
conclusionThe prevalence of obesity and overweight in PLWH was lower than that in the general population. However, the rate of increase in obesity prevalence was faster in PLWH than that in the general population. As obesity is associated with the onset of chronic diseases, pathological conditions, and various forms of cancer, more detailed obesity management for PLWH is warranted.
