Prevalence and risk factors of anemia among people living with HIV/AIDS in Southeast Asia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
BACKGROUND &
objectivesAnemia represents a critical hematological complication among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), significantly impacting morbidity and mortality. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively evaluate anemia prevalence and identify key risk factors among PLHIV in Southeast Asia.
methodsWe systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science (2000-2024) following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO: CRD42024610328). Random-effects meta-analysis was performed, with heterogeneity examined through meta-regression and subgroup analyses. Quality assessment utilized JBI critical appraisal tools.
resultsAnalysis of 39 studies (n = 21,427) revealed a striking pooled anemia prevalence of 50% (95% CI: 43-57%, I
conclusionsOur findings reveal that anemia affects half of PLHIV in Southeast Asia, with vulnerable subgroups bearing a disproportionate burden. This evidence underscores the urgent need for enhanced screening protocols and targeted interventions, particularly among high-risk populations. Future research should prioritize intervention strategies for these vulnerable subgroups.
