The Association of Mild Kidney Disease With Coronary Artery Disease Is Stronger for People Living With HIV.
Article in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo examine the association between mild kidney disease and coronary plaque parameters using coronary computed tomography angiography in people living with HIV (PWH) compared with people without HIV in Uganda.
designCross-sectional secondary analysis.
methodsWe studied 165 participants aged >45 years with ≥1 cardiovascular risk factor (78 PWH on stable antiretroviral therapy, 87 HIV-negative). Kidney function was assessed using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR). Coronary artery disease (CAD) was characterized by segment involvement score (SIS), segment stenosis score (SSS), and coronary artery calcium score. Multivariable Tobit regression assessed associations of kidney function measures with CAD parameters, testing for differences by HIV status.
resultsThe median (interquartile range) age was 57.0 (53-62) years, 62.4% of subjects were female, and 87.3% had hypertension. Among PWH, mildly impaired eGFR (<90 mL/min/1.73 m2) was associated with higher SIS [β 3.31, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.41 to 6.21, P = 0.03] and SSS (β 5.95, 95% CI: 0.54 to 11.36, P = 0.03). The association with SIS remained significant after adjusting for age, gender, and 10-year ASCVD score (β 2.58, 95% CI: 0.10 to 5.06, P = 0.04). Associations of ACR with coronary plaque were not statistically significant for participants with or without HIV (all P > 0.07).
conclusionIn PWH, mildly reduced eGFR was associated with greater coronary plaque burden (SIS, SSS) but not coronary artery calcium; ACR showed no associations with any CAD measures. Incorporating kidney function measures into cardiovascular risk assessment may be valuable in HIV care.
