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
objectiveTo estimate the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) symptoms among adults with diagnosed HIV (PWH) in the United States in order to inform effective HIV prevention and care efforts.
designThe Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) is a complex sample survey of adults with diagnosed HIV in the United States.
methodsWe used MMP data collected during June 2015 to May 2016 to calculate the weighted prevalence of GAD symptoms among PWH (N = 3654) and prevalence ratios with predicted marginal means to evaluate significant differences between groups.
resultsThe estimated prevalence of GAD symptoms among PWH was 19%. GAD symptoms were associated with significantly lower antiretroviral therapy prescription and adherence, medical HIV care engagement, and sustained viral suppression. Persons with GAD symptoms were over three times as likely to have an unmet need for mental health services (23 vs. 7%) and had significantly more emergency room visits and hospitalizations than those without these symptoms. GAD symptoms were associated with significantly higher prevalence of condomless sex while not sustainably virally suppressed with a person not known to be taking preexposure prophylaxis (9 vs. 6%).
conclusionGAD symptom prevalence among PWH was considerably higher than among the US general adult population, indicating an excess burden of anxiety among PWH. Outcomes along the HIV care continuum were poorer, and risk for HIV transmission was higher, among persons with symptoms. Incorporating routine screening for GAD in HIV clinical settings may help improve health outcomes, reduce HIV transmission, and save healthcare costs.
