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

Immunological Nonresponse (INR) in people living with HIV (PLWH) is characterized by inadequate CD4+ T-cell recovery despite effective viral suppression through antiretroviral therapy (ART). This systematic review and meta-analysis identify key clinical, demographic, and molecular predictors of INR to optimize immune recovery strategies. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines, yielding 59 eligible studies, with a total of 19,511 individuals with INR. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and pooled effect estimates were calculated as odds ratio (OR), mean difference (MD), or standardized mean difference (SMD). Significant predictors of INR included male sex [OR 1.33 (1.12-1.58)], older age [MD 2.61 (1.42-3.81)], intravenous drug use [OR 1.67 (1.15-2.42)], hepatitis B coinfection [OR 1.30 (1.08-1.57)], hepatitis C coinfection [OR 1.85 (1.50-2.28)], tuberculosis [OR 1.77 (1.41-2.21)], advanced HIV stage [OR 2.66 (2.34-3.02)], and lower baseline and nadir CD4+ counts [SMD -3.82 (-4.94-(-2.70)), SMD -1.69 (-2.69-(-0.68))], respectively. Additionally, 57 biomarkers were identified as potential predictors of INR, implicating several immunological pathways. These findings underscore the multifactorial nature of INR and the need for personalized approaches among ART-treated individuals.
