Postpartum HIV care continuum outcomes in the southeastern USA.
Article in AIDS (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate postpartum HIV care outcomes.
designA prospective clinical cohort of women with HIV and a live birth at the University of North Carolina, 1996-2014.
methodsWe estimated two stages of the HIV care continuum in the first 24 months postpartum: care retention (at least two visits per year, ≥90 days apart) and viral suppression (HIV RNA < 400 copies/ml). Multivariable models were fit using logistic regression.
resultsAmong 1416 women, 141 experienced a live birth at a median age of 28 years, with 74% virally suppressed at delivery. Among all women, 48% were retained in care and 25% maintained viral suppression for the first 24 months postpartum. Among women with available HIV RNA measures, 42% were suppressed at 24 months. HIV care retention estimates were stable across calendar years, but viral suppression rates at 24 months postpartum, among women with available HIV RNA measures, increased from 33 to 67% from 1996-2001 to 2009-2014 (P = 0.04). Being at least 30 years old was positively, and receiving less than 12 weeks of antenatal antiretroviral therapy was negatively, associated with HIV care retention at 24 months postpartum [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.41, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.09-5.29 and AOR: 0.27, 95% CI: 0.08-0.86]. Older maternal age and viral suppression at delivery were both positively associated with virologic suppression at 24 months postpartum (AOR: 2.52, CI: 1.02-6.22, and AOR: 6.42 CI: 1.29-31.97, respectively).
conclusionHIV care continuum outcomes decrease substantially postpartum, with younger women and those with less antenatal HIV care less likely to successfully remain engaged in HIV care following childbirth.
