Assessing Stigma, Disclosure Regret and Posttraumatic Growth in People Living with HIV.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2018. 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
Posttraumatic growth after a diagnosis of HIV is positively associated with adjustment, yet stigma and disclosure regret are negatively associated with adjustment. Research into whether posttraumatic growth is experienced while perceiving stigma and disclosure regret is still growing. This study aimed to determine whether posttraumatic growth maintains a positive relation with life satisfaction after controlling for disclosure regret and perceived stigma. Using a cross-sectional design, a questionnaire measuring life satisfaction, health status, depression, posttraumatic growth, disease severity, perceived stigma, disclosure regret, and demographical information was completed by 73 people living with HIV (PLWH). Results showed that all participants had disclosed to at least one person. Regression results showed that after controlling for other variables, including stigma and disclosure regret, posttraumatic growth was positively associated with life satisfaction. The importance of the relation of posttraumatic growth with subjective measures of adjustment may be important for interventions aimed at supporting PLWH.
