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

Late HIV diagnosis is defined as presenting for care with a CD4 count <350 cells/μl or an AIDS-defining event, and it continues to be a significant challenge in the global effort to prevent and control HIV/AIDS. To examine the late diagnosis of HIV in Wuhan, we retrospectively analyzed cases of late diagnosis among newly identified people living with HIV in 2023. Of the 383 newly diagnosed individuals with HIV infection, 260 (67.89%) were diagnosed late and their CD4 counts were less than 350 cells/μl. Among them, 135 (35.25%) had advanced HIV disease, with CD4 counts below 200 cells/μl. Compared to those diagnosed promptly, the population with late HIV diagnosis had a higher viral load, older age, and lower CD/CD8 ratio. They were also more likely to be men who have sex with men (MSM) or farmers, and were typically diagnosed through voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) or clinical patients. These findings highlight the high rate of late HIV diagnosis in Wuhan, suggesting the need for more attention and more targeted measures toward earlier diagnosis within the population.
