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

Background: The growing number of older people with HIV (PWH) presents challenges in comprehensive care and maintaining health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a multidisciplinary intervention focusing on medication optimization and person-centered support on the HRQoL of older PWH. Methods: This prospective study included 3 groups: PWH ≥ 50 years (older); PWH < 50 years (younger); and HIV-negative individuals ≥ 50 years. Older PWH underwent a comprehensive assessment at baseline and approximately 6 months later, with interventions provided by clinical pharmacists, infectious disease specialists, and geriatricians. Medication Regimen Complexity Index (MRCI), STOPP/START and TIME criteria, and 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were used. Results: A total of 285 participants were included in this study (50% older PWH, 25% younger PWH, and 25% HIV-negative individuals). The mental component summary score of SF-36 was significantly higher in older PWH compared to younger PWH at baseline ( Conclusions: Multidisciplinary care was associated over time with reductions in inappropriate prescribing and improvements in HRQoL among older PWH. These findings underscore the need for integrated, person-centered, age-tailored HIV care models to support healthy aging.
