Reliability and validity of the Functional Assessment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection (FAHI) in patients with drug and alcohol use disorders.
Article in AIDS care, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and substance use disorders can both significantly impact a patient's quality of life (QOL), and it is, therefore, important to assess QOL throughout treatments for these chronic conditions. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Functional Assessment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection (FAHI) in 170 HIV-positive patients who participated in a substance abuse treatment study. Internal consistency of the FAHI was good. Convergent and discriminant validity were generally supported with comparisons to other patient-reported measures. FAHI scores were not significantly associated with viral loads or CD4 counts, and they were similar in patients with and without AIDS. Patients who achieved longer durations of drug and alcohol abstinence during treatment reported better QOL post-treatment. The FAHI appears to be a reliable and valid measure for assessing QOL in HIV-positive patients with concurrent drug and alcohol use disorders.
