Stigma and access to HIV care among HIV-infected women in Kolkata, West Bengal.
Article in Journal of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectivesStigma is an important issue for marginalized HIV-infected populations. We describe stigma among HIV-infected women on antiretroviral therapy and associations with access to clinical care, demographic factors, and structural elements of support.
methodsHIV-infected women attending a government-supported clinic in Kolkata, India, were asked about experiences with stigma. Clinical information was abstracted from medical records. We described factors associated with stigma using ordinal logistic regression.
resultsAmong 198 women, higher levels of stigma were associated with lower CD4 count upon entry into care (aOR = 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.65, 0.94]), district of residence (aOR = 1.9; CI: [1.0, 3.4]), presence of extended family in the household (aOR = 0.57; CI: [0.32, 1.0]), and employment at the time of the interview (aOR = 0.48; CI: [0.26, 0.90]). Stigma was not associated with having missed scheduled HIV care appointments.
conclusionStigma is prevalent among Indian women with HIV, should be further explored, and may be important in considering public health interventions for better access to care.
