Substance use, anxiety, and self-management efficacy in HIV-positive individuals: A mediation analysis.
Article in Journal of substance use, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
contextIn China, the social stigma of both substance use and HIV remains major barriers. HIV+ individuals have been demonstrated to have higher psychosocial distress in the literature. To ensure quality of life among HIV+ Chinese individuals, self-efficacy in HIV-related management including substance use and anxiety is the key to suppress viral load and maintain healthy lives.
objectivesWe examine the mediation relationship among substance use, anxiety, and self-management efficacy.
methodA cross-sectional study design was used. 137 HIV+ individuals were recruited from two premier Chinese hospitals: Beijing's Ditan Hospital and Shanghai's Public Health Clinic Center (SPHCC).
resultsHIV+ substance users had significantly lower HIV-management efficacy and higher anxiety scores. About a third of the relations between substance use and anxiety was mediated by HIV-management self-efficacy. Those who used substances in the previous week had higher anxiety levels suggesting the presence of a recent effect. Their higher levels of anxiety could be largely explained by their lower HIV-management efficacy.
conclusionIt is useful for healthcare providers to assess substance use behaviors in HIV+ individuals as well as provide support in managing anxiety in this population. Meanwhile, enhancing self-management efficacy to ensure healthy lifestyles may support achieving optimal lives with HIV.
