Clinic-based diabetes screening at the time of HIV testing and associations with poor clinical outcomes in South Africa: a cohort study.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHIV clinical care programs in high burden settings are uniquely positioned to facilitate diabetes diagnosis, which is a major challenge. However, in sub-Saharan Africa, data on the burden of diabetes among people living with HIV (PLHIV) and its impact on HIV outcomes is sparse.
methodsWe enrolled adults presenting for HIV testing at an outpatient clinic in Durban. Those who tested positive for HIV-infection were screened for diabetes using a point-of-care hemoglobin A
resultsAmong 1369 PLHIV, 0.5% (n = 7) reported a prior diabetes diagnosis, 20.6% (95% CI 18.5-22.8%, n = 282) screened positive for pre-diabetes (HbA
conclusionsDiabetes and pre-diabetes were common among adults testing positive for HIV and associated with death. Clinic-based diabetes screening could be targeted to higher risk groups and may improve HIV treatment outcomes.
