HIV Nurse Navigation: Charting the Course to Improve Engagement in Care and HIV Virologic Suppression.
Observational study in Journal of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study represents one of the few exploring the effectiveness of an integrated HIV nurse navigation program on engagement and virologic outcomes. A navigator provided individualized care management (eg, pillbox renewals), intensive outreach, and collaboration with existing support systems (eg, families, community programs). Clinical data from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center site of a longitudinal, observational study of HIV in the District of Columbia (DC) cohort were used for comparison (N = 706). Navigation patients (n = 84) were less likely to have permanent housing, and more likely to be disabled, have detectable viral load, comorbid depressive, and substance use disorders. Navigation patients showed improvements in clinic visits (doubled), rate of medication renewal (40.91% to 80.61%), CD4 count and CD4%, and viral rates of Veterans with <200 copies/mL increased from 47.6% to 69.0% after one year. Integration of nurse navigation into a HIV primary care setting shows promise in improving engagement and virologic suppression in a high-risk population.
