Treatment Disparities in Acute Leukemia Among HIV-positive Patients: Evidence from a Comprehensive National Study.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimLeukemia and HIV individually involve complex treatment protocols; however, their co-occurrence presents distinct clinical challenges. This study aimed to investigate inpatient treatment disparities for patients with leukemia and HIV using a nationally representative database. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of the National Inpatient Sample from 2016 to 2020. Hospitalizations for acute leukemia were identified using ICD 10 codes, and patients with asymptomatic HIV (Z21) were compared with HIV negative patients. Baseline demographics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes were evaluated using chi squared tests for categorical variables and independent sample t tests for continuous variables, with significance of
resultsHIV positive patients were older, less often female, and more frequently Black. They were more likely to have Medicaid (28.1%
conclusionDespite similar comorbidity burden and clinical outcomes, HIV positive leukemia patients were significantly less likely to receive chemotherapy. Higher allogeneic transplant rates may reflect a greater prevalence of adverse risk disease. These findings highlight treatment disparities and emphasize the need for protocols ensuring equitable access to standard cancer therapies regardless of HIV status.
