Efficacy of an evidence-based ARV adherence intervention in China.
Trial report in AIDS patient care and STDs, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 7 of them syntheses 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
We designed a randomized controlled trial of a home based intervention to improve antiretroviral adherence and to assess the impact of depressive symptoms among people living with HIV in Hunan, China. At baseline, 110 subjects reported taking 90% or less of prescribed medication. At 6 months, when the intervention ended, 56% of subjects in the control and 87% of subjects in the experimental group were adherent. This difference was maintained at 12 months. In multivariate analyses, controlling for baseline visual analogue adherence scale, stigma, social support, and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale, the experimental group had a significantly higher proportion of people who were adherent (p=0.009). The high prevalence of significant depressive symptoms (67%) at baseline is of concern. It is of particular importance that future studies look at the types of depression likely to be seen in these patients and differentiate early between those likely to benefit from HIV-related support and those who will require additional depression-targeted interventions.
