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
INTRODUCTION/
objectiveThis Turkish study aimed to investigate the factors that contribute to the failure of virological suppression in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). The factors evaluated were sociodemographic characteristics, opportunistic infections, polypharmacy, comorbidities, and the ART regimen used. The purpose of this investigation was to obtain important insights that can be utilized to improve treatment strategies at both individual and public health levels.
methodsThis multicenter retrospective case-control study compared data from 263 patients with suppressed viremia with 125 with unsuppressed viremia, all treated at one of three hospitals in the Aegean region of Turkiye. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and ART regimen details were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of virological failure.
resultsPatients with unsuppressed viremia were significantly more likely to be older, have lower educational levels, and reside in large cities. Our logistic regression analysis showed that each additional month since HIV diagnosis increased the risk of virological failure by 2%. Moreover, each 1% increase in nadir CD4 + T-cells reduced the risk of virological failure by 4%. Opportunistic infections increased the risk of virological failure by 3.25 times. Interestingly, virological failure was 6.5 times more likely in patients who did not suffer ART side effects.
conclusionsThis study identified the sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment-related factors that contribute to virological failure in people with HIV in Turkiye. This can be utilized to develop individualized treatment strategies and improve virological control and clinical outcomes.
