"This conflict has turned me into a Doctor, Nurse and Nutritionist at the same time": how peer support among HIV-positive IDPs created opportunities for care in conflict-stricken Kabaré, Congo DR.
Article in BMC research notes, 2019. 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
objectiveWhile HIV research remains priority in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), most of the studies have traditionally been conducted in secure locations with little focus on internally displaced person (IDPs) and how they rely on locally available strategies for care and survival. Thus the aim of this study is to fill this gap by investigating the role of indigenous social relations (particularly, peer support) in the promotion of care among IDPs living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in a conflict region known as Kabaré in the south Kivu province of Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
resultsThrough a qualitative study, we show that despite having some limitations (e.g. lacked practical avenues to monitor and treat HIV-related complications), peer-support was crucial in providing much needed empathetic social, economic, psychological, material, nutritional and emotional supportive services to HIV positive IDPs. Peer support was also useful in promoting adherence to antiretroviral treatment including provision of financial support that opened survival pathways in the face of conflict, weak health systems and poverty.
