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

objectivesIn Ukraine, accurate HIV mortality data are lacking due to limited information on HIV-related deaths. This study focuses on Kyiv to track HIV-related deaths among undiagnosed individuals living with HIV and evaluate HIV programming for cause-of-death identification.

methodsFive mortuaries in Kyiv were selected to participate (July-December 2021) with cadavers from people aged 18+ years. HIV status was determined through serology; patient files were examined for prior diagnosis and treatment. Bivariate analyses were conducted to assess HIV status and select characteristics and chi-square or Fisher's exact tests were used, as appropriate, to assess statistical significance. Multivariable logistic regression explored correlates of HIV.

resultsOf 1,513 cadavers, 39 (2.6%) tested positive for HIV, among whom, 31 (79.5%) had documentation of an HIV-positive status before death. Overall, medical records for 94% of all 1,513 cadavers did not contain information about HIV status at the time of death.

conclusionsHIV testing in cadavers can be used to understand burden of HIV disease; data from clinical record from the deceased can be used to assess morbidity and mortality associated with HIV.
