Mental health and HIV: research priorities related to the implementation and scale up of 'treat all' in sub-Saharan Africa.
Article in Journal of virus eradication, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines call for antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all people living with HIV (PLWH) regardless of CD4 cell count, a policy often referred to as 'treat all'. This article seeks to: (1) provide an overview of mental health research among PLWH in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and interventions or strategies to address comorbid mental illness among those living with HIV; and (2) describe key mental health-related recommendations to inform the successful implementation and scale up of 'treat all' policies in SSA. An initial set of mental health-related research recommendations was developed by a working group comprising investigators affiliated with the International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) consortium. Recommendations were shared with those who attended the All-Africa IeDEA Meeting in Kigali, Rwanda in November 2017 and refined following the meeting. Recommendations reflect a need for epidemiological research to examine the prevalence, incidence, and impact of mental health multimorbidities on HIV treatment outcomes, intervention research to examine the extent to which improving the mental health of people living with HIV enhances HIV treatment outcomes, and implementation science research to evaluate promising models of integrated mental health and HIV care. Key research recommendations can advance understanding and treatment of mental illness among those living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.
