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

Background: Dyslipidemia is a common metabolic complication among people living with HIV and a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, it remains insufficiently characterized in Ethiopia, particularly in contemporary urban ART settings. Methods: We conducted a facility-based cross-sectional study among 398 patients selected by systematic random sampling from November 1 to December 31, 2025. Data were collected using a structured data collection tool, entered into KoboToolbox, and analyzed in SPSS Version 27. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with dyslipidemia. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, and Results: The median age of participants was 50 years (IQR: 42-56), and 66.8% ( Conclusion: Dyslipidemia was prevalent among approximately two in three HIV-positive patients receiving long-term ART at two tertiary hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. These findings highlight the need for routine lipid monitoring and integrated cardiovascular risk management within HIV care settings in similar urban, tertiary-care contexts.
