Associations Between B-Cell Subsets and Subclinical Coronary Artery Disease in Ugandans With and Without HIV.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 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
Background: People living with HIV-1 (PLWH) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), influenced by chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and antiretroviral therapy (ART). B cells regulate immune responses, but their contribution to HIV-associated atherosclerosis remains poorly defined. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, we enrolled 40 PLWH and 60 people without HIV (PWoH) in Uganda, matched 1:1.5 for age and CVD risk. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were profiled by mass cytometry to define immune cell subsets. Coronary computed tomography angiography quantified coronary artery disease using the segment stenosis score (SSS). We used multivariable hurdle regression to estimate the effect sizes of immune clusters, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score, HIV status, and gender. Results: Median age was 60 years, with no difference by HIV status. People living with HIV had a lower proportion of CCR7 Conclusions: This exploratory study suggests that lower frequencies of naïve B cells in PLWH are associated with differences in subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the mechanisms cannot be inferred from this study.
