Employment Cessation, Long Term Labour Market Engagement and HIV Infection Risk Among People Who Inject Drugs in an Urban Canadian Setting.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
The potential for changes in socio-economic status, such as employment exits, to increase HIV infection risk are not well examined among people who inject illicit drugs (PWID). We used longstanding cohort data from Vancouver, Canada, to longitudinally assess associations between employment cessation and outcomes with documented linkages to HIV infection risk among PWID. From 2005 to 2015, 1222 participants reported 1154 employment exits. Employment exits were significantly associated with transitions into unstable housing; moving to the inner-city; initiating informal, prohibited or illegal income generation; high risk drug use practices; and exiting methadone maintenance therapy. HIV infection rates were higher among participants with lower long-term labour market engagement. These findings suggest that employment cessation coincides with initiating exposure to aspects of socioeconomic marginalization and drug use associated with HIV infection risk. Support for employment retention that prevents poverty entrenchment and harmful drug use could contribute to HIV prevention measures for PWID.
