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
Individuals infected with HIV experience high rates of depression when compared to their sero-negative counterparts. Although symptoms of depression have been consistently linked to poor medication adherence among persons living with HIV/AIDS, their relation to retention in care are less well-known. The purpose of this study was to examine whether clusters of depressive symptoms influence retention in care and if so, whether these clusters had different relations to retention in care. This is a secondary data analysis of a larger study that investigated the role of health literacy, cognitive impairment, and social determinants on retention in HIV care. Individuals with HIV were recruited from South Florida from August 2009 to May 2011. A total of 210 participants were included in the current analyses. A measure of visit constancy was calculated to represent the number of 4-month intervals with at least one kept visit. Individual items on the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale short form (CES-D10) and factor analysis of the CES-D10 were independent variables. Overall, there was a high prevalence of depressive symptoms in the study participants. Furthermore, factor analysis showed that certain clusters of depressive symptoms were significantly associated with visit constancy. Specifically, negative mood/somatic symptoms were associated with a greater odds of missing a visit in any of the observed 4-month time periods than positive mood factor. Those patients reporting somatic symptoms and negative mood may need additional intervention and support to be effectively retained in care and successfully follow through with appointments and care.
