Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Acceptance-Based Behavior Therapy to Promote HIV Acceptance, HIV Disclosure, and Retention in Medical Care.
Trial report in AIDS and behavior, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02004457 (Engaging HIV Patients in Primary Care by Promoting Acceptance), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
HIV patients who are not retained in medical care risk viral resistance, disease progression to AIDS, and mortality. Numerous interventions have been tested to improve retention, but they are limited by their resource-intensive approaches and lack of focus on new patients, who are at highest risk for drop-out. Data show that acceptance and disclosure of HIV status might impact retention, yet these variables have not been targeted in previous interventions. In this pilot randomized controlled trial, we assessed feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a brief, 2-session acceptance based behavior therapy (ABBT), relative to treatment-as-usual (TAU), in 34 new-to-care HIV patients. ABBT attendance was high and patient feedback was positive. Relative to TAU, ABBT had significant positive effects on retention, as well as putative mechanisms of action, including experiential avoidance of HIV, willingness to make and actual disclosures of HIV status, and perceived social support. Further testing of ABBT is warranted. Trial registered at clinicaltrials.gov; Clinical Trial #NCT02004457.
