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

introductionLate diagnosis of HIV infection continues to be a significant public health challenge. The objective of the study was to analyze the frequency of late diagnosis and missed diagnostic opportunities among newly diagnosed cases of HIV infection. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective observational study including newly diagnosed HIV cases between 2017 and 2024 was conducted, evaluating demographic and clinical variables and routes of transmission, as well as previous contact with the healthcare system.

results103 patients were analyzed, most of whom were men (86.5%). The main route of transmission was sexual among men who have sex with men (61.2%). 44.7% of cases were diagnosed late, and 25.2% had advanced disease. 87.4% had previous healthcare contact, and in 49.5% of cases, diagnostic opportunities had been missed.

conclusionsStrengthening early detection is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality and curb HIV transmission.
