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
Introduction: Cardiovascular health (CVH) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) is influenced by cardiometabolic, psychosocial and functional factors. This study evaluated exploratory multidimensional CVH-related profiles and their demographic, functional and psychosocial correlates among PLHIV who attended two urban HIV clinics in Panama. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among adults ≥ 18 years) who attended antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinics in two cities in Panama between August and October 2024. Two exploratory multidimensional CVH-related profile scores were constructed (unweighted and cardiovascular-weighted toward traditional cardiovascular disease factors) using cardiovascular, psychosocial, and HIV-related domains. Descriptive and multiple linear regression analyses examined associations with these profile scores. Results: A total of 282 participants (mean age = 39.2 years) were included. Mean scores on a theoretical 0-100 scale were 70.3 for the unweighted CVH-related profile and 75.7 for the cardiovascular-weighted CVH-related profile. In adjusted models, age (β = -0.13, p = .028), walking difficulties (β = -0.16, p = .008), anxiety (β = -0.32, p < .001), and discrimination (β = -0.14, p = .022) were associated with a lower unweighted CVH-related profile score. In the cardiovascular-weighted profile, older age (β = -0.22, p < .001), walking difficulties (β = -0.21, p < .001), and anxiety (β = -0.26, p < .001) were associated with a lower profile score, while living with someone was associated with a higher profile score (β = 0.13, p = .026). Conclusions: Mobility limitations, anxiety, and discrimination were key correlates of lower multidimensional CVH-related profile scores among PLHIV, while living with someone was associated with higher cardiovascular-weighted profile score. The exploratory scores should not be interpreted as validated CVH or CVD risk measures. However, the findings highlight the relevance of integrating mental health, functional assessment, and social support within HIV care as PLHIV age in Panama.
