"HIV Is Not Going to Kill Me, Old Age Is!": The Intersection of Aging and HIV for Older HIV-Infected Adults in Rural Communities.

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
Older adults with HIV/AIDS living in rural areas face unique challenges to accessing HIV care and medications, and suffer greater mortality than non-rural HIV-infected individuals. This qualitative study examined the intersection of aging and HIV to identify factors that affect overall health, engagement in care, and medication adherence among this understudied population. Qualitative interviews were conducted by phone with 29 HIV-positive adults over the age of 50 living in U.S. rural counties and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Individuals reported complex medical needs in addition to their HIV and noted difficulty discerning whether symptoms were associated with HIV or aging. Although reported medication adherence rates were high, participants also cited several barriers to maintaining adherence. Given the increase in rural individuals living with HIV, interventions are needed to address the complex intersection of aging and HIV, especially for those in rural environments.
