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

Alcohol misuse and calorie-dense diets, especially those rich in sugar and fat, independently increase comorbidity risk among people with HIV. The objective of this study was to define the combined effects of chronic binge alcohol administration and consumption of a high-fat high-sucrose diet (HFSD) on systemic metabolic, immunologic, and body composition outcomes under controlled conditions in an established nonhuman primate (NHP) model of HIV infection. Male NHPs fed HFSD diet were administered alcohol or vehicle. A subset of animals in the vehicle (VEH) and alcohol groups was infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART treatment decreased viral loads, which did not differ between the vehicle- and alcohol-administered NHPs. There was a main effect of alcohol to significantly reduce peripheral CD4
