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: Dolutegravir (DTG)-based antiretroviral therapy is widely used in sub-Saharan Africa, but routine-care evidence on incident hyperglycemia after DTG initiation or substitution remains limited in southwestern Uganda. Purpose: To determine the incidence and predictors of documented hyperglycemia among adults receiving DTG-based antiretroviral therapy at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using routine clinical records of adults who initiated or switched to DTG-based ART between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2023. Documented incident hyperglycemia was defined as fasting glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L or random glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L with documented classic symptoms. Cox proportional hazards regression estimated adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs); age was modeled per 10-year increase. The proportional-hazards assumption was assessed using Schoenfeld residuals. Results: Of 8,859 adults in the descriptive cohort, 8,856 contributed positive follow-up time. Seventy-four documented hyperglycemia events occurred over 29,157.74 person-years, an incidence rate of 2.54 per 1,000 person-years (95% CI 1.99-3.19). The smoothed hazard increased after DTG initiation/substitution, peaked at approximately 1.1 years, and declined thereafter. Higher hazard was associated with older age (per 10 years: aHR 1.70, 95% CI 1.33-2.18), prior thymidine analogue NRTI exposure (aHR 3.27, 95% CI 1.20-8.89), and ≥15 years of ART before DTG (aHR 5.63, 95% CI 1.39-22.77). The global proportional-hazards test was not significant (p=0.70). Conclusion: Documented hyperglycemia was uncommon but was associated with older age and markers of long-term ART exposure. Risk-stratified glucose monitoring should be considered, particularly during the first year after DTG initiation/substitution and among higher-risk patients.
