TLDR
In this article, the authors determine the association between non-communicable illnesses and HIV-related deaths in people with HIV and cardiovascular diseases, and show that most deaths in persons with HIV are now attributable to noncommunicable diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases.
Abstract
Background: With advances in antiretroviral therapy, most deaths in people with HIV are now attributable to noncommunicable illnesses, especially cardiovascular disease. We determine the associatio...

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.
