Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBelonging to a social network group may influence a person's decisions to engage in desired behavior.
aimThe objective of our study was to determine factors associated with utilization of psychosocial group services among people living with human immunodeficiency virus acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (PLWHAs) in a Teaching Hospital in Sagamu, Southwestern Nigeria. SETTINGS AND
designThis was an analytical cross-sectional study. All consenting PLHAs who attended the anti-retroviral clinic (ART) clinic during the study period were recruited into the study. MATERIALS AND
methodsA structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect relevant information and a total of 205 PLWHAs were interviewed. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: The data analysis focused on univariate frequency table and bivariate cross tabulations that identify important relationships between the variables. Odds ratio (OR) at 95% confidence level (CI) and Chi-squared and t-tests were also computed.
resultsThe overall point utilization of psychosocial services among the PLWHAs was 23.4%. Utilization of psychosocial services was statistically significantly associated with religion (χ(2) = 11.74, P = 0.003), disclosure of human immunodeficiency virus status (χ(2) = 9.18, P = 0.01) and satisfactory self-reported health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) (χ(2) = 5.67, P = 0.017) while sex (χ(2) = 0.02, P = 0.96), education (χ(2) = 4.67, P = 0.32) tribe (χ(2) = 1.46, P = 0.48) adherence to ART drugs (χ(2) = 0.44, P = 0.51), mental health status (χ(2) = 0.64, P = 0.42) and occupation (χ(2) = 3.61, P = 0.61) were not. The only predictor of utilization of psychosocial group services was religion (OR = 0.44, CI = 0.23-0.84).
conclusionThis study shows the effectiveness of the psychosocial networks group in improving the overall HRQOL of the PLWHAs.
