1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the sociodemographic, clinical and renal correlates associated with severe anaemia among people with HIV.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of people with HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least 6 months, stratified by anaemia status. Anaemia was defined based on the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification, as haemoglobin concentration lower than normal i.e. <12 g/dl in females and < 13 g/dl in males and the primary outcome, severe anaemia, as a haemoglobin level below 8 g/dl according to the World Health Organisation.

resultsThe study comprised 372 participants receiving ART, of whom 236 (63.4%) were females. The mean age ± SD of the participants was 44.8 ± 12.4 years. The overall prevalence of severe anaemia was 7.8% (95% CI: 0.053-0.111). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, factors significantly associated with severe anaemia were female sex (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR: 14.3, 95% CI: 2.14-126.6), albumin (AOR: 0.93 95% CI: 0.88-0.98) and creatinine levels (AOR: 1.01 95% CI: 1.00-1.03).
