A Survey of Patients' Perspectives on Outpatient HIV Care in the Netherlands.
Article in Infectious diseases and therapy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionResponding to patients' needs and preferences is important in the delivery of outpatient care. Recent and systematically collected data reflecting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients' opinions on how their outpatient care should be delivered are lacking. Our aim was to identify aspects of care that people with HIV in outpatient care in The Netherlands consider important and to evaluate the extent to which the received care meets their expectations.
methodsWe measured patient preferences and experiences in a nationwide sample of HIV-infected patients using a modified, previously validated questionnaire (QUOTE-HIV).
resultsThe aspects of care that were considered most important were specific expertise of the care provider in HIV medicine, the care provider taking the patient seriously and receiving adequate information about treatment options. In addition, confidentiality of HIV status at the outpatient clinic was a major concern. Patient experiences were positive, with the majority of the respondents indicating that they always or usually received care in accordance with their preferences.
conclusionHIV-infected patients greatly value having care providers with HIV-specific expertise. Safeguarding the privacy of HIV status and the provision of information about treatment options are matters that deserve continuous attention in the delivery of outpatient HIV care.
