Medication Adherence and Health Outcomes of People Living with HIV Who Are Food Insecure and Prescribed Antiretrovirals That Should Be Taken with Food.

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
introductionFood insecurity is a well-established predictor of poor health outcomes. Antiretroviral therapies (ARTs) that should be taken with food to increase bioavailability may further challenge food insecure patients. This study examined factors associated with antiretroviral adherence and HIV viral suppression among people living with HIV who are food insecure and prescribed medications that require food.
methodsA community sample of 313 men and 105 women who experienced food insecurity in the previous month and were currently taking ART completed computerized interviews, urine screening for drug use, prospective biweekly unannounced pill count adherence assessments, and obtained their HIV viral load and CD4 cell counts from medical records.
resultsIndividuals taking ART regimens that should be taken with food were significantly more likely to be unemployed, were living longer with an HIV diagnosis, had lower CD4 cell counts, poorer HIV suppression, and endorsed more beliefs that taking medications was necessary for their health. Multivariable regression models controlling for potential confounding factors showed that receiving ART that requires food was significantly related to poorer ART adherence and unsuppressed HIV in this food insecure sample.
conclusionPeople living with HIV who are food insecure likely experience multiple facets of poverty that challenge their medication adherence, but food insecurity is the only such factor that is directly related to the pharmacokinetics of some antiretroviral medications. Achieving optimal treatment outcomes for HIV infection will require routine assessment of access to food when determining patient-tailored ART regimens.
