A study protocol "saving futures: developing an integrated model of rehabilitation and paediatric HIV care to foster success at school".
Article in Pilot and feasibility studies, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundA significant number of children experience disabilities as a result of living with HIV, including those on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Current paediatric HIV care does not prioritise rehabilitation. Furthermore, little attention is paid to cognitive development and educational needs, thereby placing the future of these children at risk. This can be mitigated by providing rehabilitation services to help overcome these disabilities.
methodsThe study will assess the feasibility (acceptability, practicality, preliminary efficacy) of an integrated model of rehabilitation and paediatric HIV care in order to improve diagnosis and interventions for disability amongst children living with HIV between the ages of 5 and 10 years. The model will integrate data entry and management tools, improving identification, referral, and linkage to care, with an intervention approach that can be used by trained lay health professionals. The study targets both physical and cognitive impairments that lead to disabilities to improve school readiness and success. Phase 1 will inform the design of an optimal integrated model of rehabilitation and paediatric HIV care in a public healthcare setting in South Africa. The study will first undertake a formative investigation of the factors impacting integration of rehabilitation with paediatric HIV care from the perspective of caregivers and health professionals. It will use qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The knowledge from this phase will inform the design of the model in phase 2, and phase 3 will pilot the integrated rehabilitation and paediatric HIV model with the aim to improve school readiness for the participants at the study site. The pilot intervention will be formally evaluated. DISCUSSION: The results from this study will determine whether the model has potential for widespread application in South African paediatric HIV care and recommend further possible modifications. This will inform the development of a proposal to support the current government initiative to strengthen disability and rehabilitation services. The study results will also inform South Africa's current efforts to strengthen early interventions for children with disabilities and will be an important and critically needed step in the use of rehabilitation to strengthen paediatric HIV care in the region.
