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

purpose of reviewPeople with HIV (PWH) have increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Echocardiography is a widely accessible, non-invasive test that provides key information regarding cardiac structure and function. In this review, we focus on the use of echocardiography as a research tool to understand the epidemiology and pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease among PWH. We then examine the implications for echocardiographic studies in the clinical care of PWH. RECENT

findingsContemporary cohort studies that use echocardiography to characterize cardiac function among PWH largely treated with antiretroviral therapy compared to sociodemographically similar peers suggest that the risk of cardiac dysfunction associated with HIV – including left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction and right ventricular dysfunction – is lower than suggested by older studies. Echocardiography is useful for understanding the role of HIV in cardiac dysfunction, as well as the clinical care of persons with HIV.
