High HIV incidence density among middle-aged and older populations in Luzhou, China: evidence from retrospective cohort study, 2018-2023.
Article in BMC 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
HIV incidence is crucial for monitoring epidemics. This analysis of retrospective, programmatic HIV screening data aimed to estimate HIV incidence density within a repeatedly tested cohort, reflecting new infection detection among individuals who accessed testing services, and to explore associated demographic factors. We analyzed data from 1,863,802 individuals who accessed routine services across all city health facilities, tracking those initially seronegative. The overall incidence density was higher in males (1.21 per 1,000 person-years) than females (0.46), with peaks observed in males aged 70-79 (1.42) and females aged 50-59 (0.72). Cox regression identified demographic characteristics associated with higher incidence: male gender (HR = 2.69, 95% CI: 2.51-2.90), age 50-59 years (HR = 4.19, 95% CI: 2.83-6.21), and widowed/divorced status (HR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.81-2.22). Higher education was associated with lower incidence (HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.52-0.90). The findings highlight a substantial HIV burden among middle-aged and older males, with females in these groups having approximately half the incidence of males. Tailored interventions should focus on these populations, particularly individuals with lower educational attainment and those who are unmarried, divorced, or widowed.
