Reactions, beliefs and concerns associated with providing hair specimens for medical research among a South African sample: a qualitative approach.
Article in Future virology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
In order to optimize treatment outcome among antiretroviral therapy users, there is a strong imperative to engage in continued monitoring and maintenance of therapeutic drug levels in patients. The aim of this study was to document the perspectives, beliefs, and concerns of South African antiretroviral therapy users providing hair specimens to determine antiretroviral drug levels. Twenty-one women living with HIV were recruited from a community health center in the Western Cape. Interviews were recorded and transcribed, and analyzed using Atlas.ti version 6. Although participants identified several cultural beliefs influencing their decision to provide hair specimens for drug level measurement, nearly all agreed that they would be willing to do so if provided with enough information by the researcher.
