In one paragraph

Review in Current HIV/AIDS reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07425925 (Feasibility and Effectiveness of Digital Peer-support-based Anti-HIV Stigma Intervention in Improving Clinical Outcomes Among Adolescents Living With HIV in Ethiopia), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

purpose of reviewHIV-related stigma remains a significant barrier to engagement in care for persons living with HIV (PLWH) worldwide. This review examines the use of eHealth technologies for reducing stigma as a pathway toward improved engagement in care for PLWH. We provide a brief overview of effective stigma reduction interventions for PLWH, both eHealth and others; identify gaps in the research on use of eHealth technologies for stigma reduction; and suggest potential research avenues moving forward. RECENT

findingsThe majority of HIV-related eHealth studies use technology to improve ART adherence. To date, few HIV-related eHealth studies have included any measurement of stigma. Given the current narrow evidence base, further research is needed to determine whether eHealth technologies can help to reduce stigma and improve engagement in care for PLWH.
