Article in Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07080138 (Research on the Psychological Status of Patients With HIV-1 Infection), which is not on this map. Cited by 100 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

backgroundHIV/AIDS is one of the most devastating illnesses that humans have ever faced. Depression in HIV/AIDS patients is very common but the factors affecting it are not well studied. AIMS AND

objectivesHIV/AIDS though such a big public health problem worldwide, not enough data is available regarding association of HIV and Depression. Therefore this study was undertaken to evaluate the association between HIV/AIDS and depression in an Indian setting. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe study was conducted in Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital and University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi. One hundred sixty patients were interviewed using a questionnaire containing factors that affect depression. CES-D (Center for Epidemiologic Studies - Depression) scale was used to measure depression. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS software.

resultsThe prevalence of depression in patients with HIV under ART was 58.75%. The prevalence of depression increased with the severity of symptoms. The unemployed, uneducated, unmarried, belonging to joint families, having no or low family income, migrants, having indifferent or poor relationship with spouse, poor social support and had visited commercial sex workers had a greater prevalence of depression.

conclusionThe rate of depression in patients with HIV/AIDS is very high. Detecting depression early and treating it goes a long way in improving the compliance to treatment as well as quality of life.
