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

The increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity (OO) among people living with HIV (PLWH) is rising concerns. However, limited data are available on the role of modifiable lifestyle factors, particularly adherence to the Mediterranean diet, among PLWH on long-term stable ART. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between modifiable lifestyle factors, particularly dietary habits, adherence to the Mediterranean diet and physical activity, and overweight/obesity among virologically suppressed PLWH on long-term stable ART. PLWH on stable ART and with HIV-RNA suppression, followed at a tertiary care center in Northern Italy were enrolled. Data about diet (dietary recall and MediLite, a validated tool to assess adherence to the Mediterranean diet) and physical activity level (PAL) were collected. Out of 385 eligible subjects, 176 agreed to participate in the study (median age and HIV infection duration, 51 and 17 years, respectively) and categorized according to Body Mass Index (BMI) in normal weight (NW, BMI < 25 kg/m
