HIV, Drug Injection, and Harm Reduction Trends in Eastern Europe and Central Asia: Implications for International and Domestic Policy.
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
purpose of reviewScaling up evidence-based HIV prevention strategies like opioid agonist therapies (OAT), syringe services programs (SSPs), and antiretroviral therapy (ART) to mitigate the harms of drug injection is crucial within Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA), the only region globally where HIV incidence and mortality are increasing. RECENT
findingsThough the proportion of new HIV cases directly attributable to drug injection has recently declined, it remains a critical driver of HIV, especially to sexual partners. Concurrently, scale-up of OAT, SSPs, and ART has remained low, contributing to a volatile HIV epidemic among people who inject drugs (PWID). Despite evidence that drug injection contributes to an evolving HIV epidemic in EECA, coverage of evidence-based harm reduction programs remains substantially below needed targets. Due to a combination of punitive drug laws, ideological resistance to OAT among clinicians and policymakers, and inadequate domestic and international funding, limited progress has been observed in increasing the availability of these programs.
