Cardiovascular Disease, Brain Glucose Metabolism, and Neurocognitive Decline in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and neuroinflammation are thought to exacerbate neurocognitive dysfunction in treated people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH). Here, we longitudinally measured brain glucose metabolism as a measure of neuronal integrity in treated PWH using [ Methods: Well-controlled PWH (n = 36) underwent baseline and follow-up FDG PET/CT obtained 3.5 years apart on average. Longitudinal changes in whole brain and regional relative FDG uptake, brain volumes, CLVs, CSF cytokines, and neuropsychological measures were measured. A variable selection model identified baseline variables related to future brain metabolic changes while multivariable models explored neuropsychological implications of brain metabolism and volumetrics. Results: High ASCVD scores predicted future decreased thalamic uptake (slope = -0.0068, Conclusions: We found that high ASCVD scores in a group of treated PWH were related to thalamic hypometabolism, which in turn correlated with neurocognitive decline. Our findings support the contribution of CVD to neurocognitive dysfunction. More proactive CVD management may have a role in mitigating progression of cognitive impairment. Lack of change in global brain glucose metabolism despite documented accelerated gray matter volume loss over the same period suggests that FDG PET might underestimate neuronal injury in PWH compared to structural magnetic resonance imaging.
