Incidence and Predicting Factors of Opportunistic Infections after Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation among Treatment-naïve Patients with HIV Infection: A Retrospective Cohort Study in A Tertiary Care Hospital.
Article in Journal of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTo determine the incidence of opportunistic infections (OIs) and the predictive factors for the development of OIs after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation among treatment-naïve patients with HIV infection.
resultsOf 401 HIV-infected patients, 38 (9.5%) HIV-infected patients developed OIs after initiating ART, with an incidence rate of 25.6/1000 person-years. The median time (IQR) from ART initiation to OI occurrence was 26.5 (14-73) days. In multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression, body mass index ≤18.5 kg/m
conclusionOIs after ART initiation are common. Malnutrition, symptomatic presentation, abnormal liver enzymes, and DTG-based regimens are predictors of OI occurrence after ART initiation. Physicians must monitor and appropriately treat OIs after ART initiation.
