Associations between serological evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and longitudinal pulmonary outcomes among people with HIV: analysis of the MACS/WIHS combined cohort study (MWCCS).
Article in Respiratory research, 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
backgroundPeople with HIV (PWH) are at increased risk for chronic lung disease and may be more susceptible to pulmonary complications following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. It remains unclear whether HIV infection modifies long-term pulmonary outcomes after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study assessed longitudinal changes in pulmonary function and respiratory symptoms among PWH and people without HIV (PWoH) with serologically-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.
methodsWe analyzed data from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS)/Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS), a prospective US cohort of PWH and PWoH. Participants with serologic evidence of past SARS-CoV-2 infection and acceptable pre- and post-SARS-CoV-2 pulmonary function testing (PFT) including spirometry and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) were included. Annualized changes in post-bronchodilator (BD) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV
resultsAmong 778 participants (204 men; 574 women) exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and who underwent PFTs before and after infection, 66% were PWH. Men with HIV (MWH) had a mean annualized FEV
conclusionsAmong individuals with serologic evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, HIV serostatus was not associated with greater declines in pulmonary function or worsening of respiratory symptoms. Our findings suggest that having HIV alone may not increase the risk for pulmonary impairments following a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Further research is needed to understand how uncontrolled HIV infection and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection may increase risks of adverse pulmonary outcomes following a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
