Development of a Novel Scale to Measure Male Partner Involvement in the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV in Kenya.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Male partner involvement is an important factor in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). Yet, poor conceptualization has hindered optimal assessment of male involvement. We created and evaluated a brief 10-item male partner involvement scale using principal components analysis and scree plots, Cronbach's alpha, and linear regression with survey data from postpartum women with HIV (n = 200) in Kenya. The scale had a two-factor structure: male encouragement/reminders and active participation. The overall scale and the encouragement/reminders sub-scale displayed strong internal reliability. In the multivariable models, the scales were positively associated with constructive relationship dynamics, HIV status disclosure, and couple HIV testing and counseling, and negatively associated with internalized HIV stigma. The encouragements/reminders sub-scale was also negatively associated with a new HIV diagnosis during pregnancy. This work furthers the conceptualization of male partner involvement in PMTCT and provides a valid measure to assess male involvement as a pathway to better PMTCT outcomes.
