Fasting plasma glucose trends in the elderly living with HIV/AIDS on combination antiretroviral therapy regimens.

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
backgroundWith the ageing of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), the prevalence of chronic comorbidities, especially hyperglycaemia, is increasing among elderly PLWHA. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels. This study aimed to investigate both short-term and long-term FPG characteristics and trends across different ART regimens in elderly Chinese PLWHA.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study, based on hospital treatment information, classified ART regimens as this retrospective cohort study used hospital treatment data. ART regimens are classified into three categories: non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) based, protease inhibitors (PIs) based and integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTIs) based. Propensity score matching was applied to control for confounding factors. Follow-up FPG characteristics were then described, and a generalised linear mixed model was employed to estimate FPG trends under different regimens within 1-year and 5-year periods following ART initiation.
resultsParticipants had an average age of 58.28 years, with 75.02% male. FPG increased following ART initiation, with the most significant rise within 1 year of ART, followed by stabilisation. The FPG increase within 1 year was slower in the PIs-based group compared with the NNRTIs-based group (
conclusionOur study highlights that elderly Chinese PLWHA experience an increase in FPG levels, particularly during the first year of ART, with variations observed across different ART regimens. The higher long-term prevalence of diabetes in the PIs-based regimen group emphasises the need for tailored glucose management strategies. Routine glucose monitoring and proactive management are crucial for preventing and controlling diabetes in this population, particularly given the long-term metabolic risks associated with ART.
