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

Residual inflammation remains a hallmark of treated HIV infection despite durable viral suppression. Whether previous SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with residual inflammation in people living with HIV (PLWH) remains incompletely understood. This study evaluated the association between previous COVID-19 and persistent inflammation in virally suppressed PLWH. In this retrospective observational single-center study, 286 adults receiving antiretroviral therapy between January 2023 and December 2025 were included. Patients were stratified according to documented SARS-CoV-2 infection history. A secondary analysis included 231 individuals with sustained viral suppression (HIV-RNA < 50 copies/mL). Inflammatory biomarkers, immune recovery parameters, metabolic characteristics, and independent predictors of elevated inflammatory biomarker levels were evaluated. Previous SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with significantly higher concentrations of C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (all
