Awareness and early implementation of the European AIDS Clinical Society Guidance on statin use in HIV for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease: A cross-sectional survey of HIV clinicians in Europe.
Article in HIV medicine, 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
objectivesCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major comorbidity and leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with HIV (PWH). The REPRIEVE trial demonstrated that statin therapy significantly reduces cardiovascular events in PWH, prompting updated recommendations from major international societies. We assessed awareness and early implementation of the European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) statin guidance among HIV clinicians in Europe. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted an anonymous cross-sectional online survey among members of the EACS Young Investigators Network Group (YING). The questionnaire evaluated clinician characteristics, reported awareness and implementation of statin guidance, cardiovascular risk assessment practices, prescribing patterns and perceived barriers. Descriptive analyses were performed.
resultsOf 125 individuals invited to take part in the survey, 22 (18%) physicians from multiple European countries responded. All respondents were aware of the EACS statin guidance, and 91% reported that it influenced clinical practice. Cardiovascular risk was routinely assessed by most clinicians (77% always or often), with HIV physicians primarily responsible for statin prescribing (59%). Structural barriers reported included reimbursement limitations, fragmented care pathways and patient-level barriers, such as low perceived CVD risk and statin hesitancy.
conclusionsAwareness of EACS statin guidance among this cohort of HIV clinicians in Europe who are YING members is reported as high, but implementation gaps remain. Addressing structural and patient-level barriers and improving guideline implementation will be essential to optimize CVD prevention in PWH.
