Quantification of subclinical plaque characteristics and perivascular fat using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) among individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

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: People infected with human immunodeficiency virus (PIWH) have a higher risk of cardiovascular events. This study was designed to compare the differences in plaque characteristics and perivascular fat between subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in PIWH and healthy controls (HC) by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). We also assessed the associations between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 158 PIWH and 79 controls. CCTA was used to evaluate coronary artery plaque prevalence, coronary stenosis severity, plaque composition, plaque volume, and perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI). Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the associations between the prevalence of coronary artery plaque and HIV-related clinical indicators. Results: There was no difference in total coronary artery plaque prevalence between PIWH and controls (44.3% Conclusions: PIWH have a higher risk of developing noncalcified plaque and greater perivascular fat. In addition, the increased noncalcified plaque prevalence in PIWH may be associated with the immunodeficiency caused by HIV.
