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

BACKGROUNDPregnant women in the Netherlands are screened for HIV during the first trimester. Insight into characteristics of women diagnosed with HIV may help identify groups who could benefit from testing strategies.AIMWe assessed the contribution of HIV diagnoses during pregnancy to the total number of diagnoses among women in the Netherlands between 2016 and 2023 and identified socioeconomic characteristics of women with an antenatal diagnosis.METHODSIn a cross-sectional analysis, we selected women aged 15-50 years registered in the national ATHENA cohort and diagnosed with HIV in the Netherlands. Each pregnant woman with HIV was matched by year of pregnancy to three pregnant women without HIV from the general population using non-public registry data from Statistics Netherlands. Characteristics were examined using multivariable logistic regression.RESULTSNinety-two of 523 women with HIV were diagnosed during pregnancy. These women less often had an advanced HIV infection than non-pregnant women with HIV (22 vs. 47%). Eighty-three of 92 pregnant women with HIV were matched with 249 pregnant women without HIV. Being diagnosed during pregnancy was associated with first- (aOR: 14.1; 95% CI: 6.45-30.6) or second-generation migration background (aOR: 5.38; 95% CI:2.02-11.0), income below the poverty line (aOR: 3.46; 95% CI: 1.28-9.34) and living in a single-parent household (aOR: 3.46; 95% CI: 1.52-7.88).CONCLUSIONAntenatal HIV diagnoses accounted for a substantial part of diagnoses among women; pregnant women were less likely to present with advanced-stage disease. These findings show the importance of universal antenatal HIV screening.
