What we know and what we do not know about factors associated with and interventions to promote antiretroviral adherence.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence remains critical for achieving successful outcomes. Factors affecting ART adherence can occur at the individual level or be related to the treatment regimen, daily schedule, and/or interpersonal relationships. While treatment-related barriers have diminished with recent simplified ART regimens, guidelines still recommend considering regimen simplicity. ART readiness should be assessed prior to starting ART, with follow-up adherence assessments once ART is initiated, and at all subsequent clinical visits. Adherence interventions work best when multifaceted, targeted for at-risk and nonadherent participants, and tailored to individuals' needs. Successful interventions have included education and counseling, provision of social support, directly observed therapy, and financial incentives. Pillboxes and two-way short-text messaging service (SMS) reminders have been shown to be effective and are widely recommended tools for promoting ART adherence. Further research is needed to determine the optimal combination of adherence interventions, as well as generalizability, implementation, and cost-effectiveness.
