Treatment and care of HIV positive asylum seekers.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and community health, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEnhanced regional surveillance in north west England suggests that the proportion of HIV positive people who are asylum seekers (AS) is increasing. Nationally, there is no empirical evidence that HIV positive AS use HIV services to a greater or lesser extent than HIV positive non-AS. This report compares stage of disease and use of services between HIV positive non-AS and AS.
methodsData on those accessing HIV treatment and care (from hospitals and non-governmental organisations (NGOs)) in the north west of England for the first time January 2001-June 2004 (total 2204; AS 409) were extracted from the regional enhanced surveillance system.
resultsCompared with non-AS, AS did not differ in stage of HIV disease on first contact (p>0.05), were no more likely to stay overnight in hospital (p>0.05), but had an average of one extra outpatient appointment per year (median seven compared with six, p = 0.014). AS were much more likely to have accessed NGOs for support (43% compared with 27%: p<0.001).
conclusionsUse of specialist hospital services by HIV positive AS differs little from HIV positive persons who are not AS. However, HIV positive AS rely more on NGOs at a time when such voluntary services are under increasing financial pressures.
