Experiences along the HIV care continuum: perspectives of Kenyan adolescents and caregivers.
Article in African journal of AIDS research : AJAR, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
To be effective, HIV programmes should be responsive to the unique needs of diverse groups of infected adolescents. We highlight a range of adolescent perspectives on HIV services, including those who acquired HIV perinatally or sexually and those who were either in care, had dropped out of care, or had never enrolled in care. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 29 adolescents (aged 15-19) and 14 caregivers in western Kenya. Data were analysed using a descriptive analytical approach. Adolescents who were successfully linked had a supportive adult present during diagnosis; tested during hospitalisation or treatment for a recurrent or severe illness; and initiated treatment soon after diagnosis. Barriers to retention included side effects from HIV drugs, pill burden, and limited access to clean water and nutritious food. Support in family, school, and health facility environments was key for diagnosis, linkage, and retention. We make recommendations that may improve adolescent engagement in HIV services.
