Forget about forgetting: structural barriers and severe non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy.
Article in AIDS care, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
HIV infection is now clinically manageable with antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, a significant number of people with HIV do not benefit from ART because of non-adherence. This study examined the use of adherence strategies and barriers to adherence among persons at substantial risk for developing resistant virus (less than 75% adherent). People living with HIV (n = 556) who were less than 95% adherent to ART completed computerized interviews, were screened for active drug use, provided medical records for HIV viral load, and completed unannounced pill counts to monitor ART adherence and an assessment of adherence barriers. Based on pill counts, participants were defined as severely non-adherent (≤75% medications taken) and moderately non-adherent (>75% and <95% adherent). Results showed a broad array of memory devices were used to no avail across non-adherence groups. Individuals who were severely non-adherent were significantly more likely to attribute missing medications due to substance use and structural barriers, including running out of medications, inability to get to pharmacy, and inability to afford medications. Results suggest that interventions focused on memory lapses will be insufficient and should rather concentrate on substance use treatment and providing case management to resolve structural barriers to adherence.
