Resilience and psychosocial outcomes among South African adolescents affected by HIV.
Article in AIDS (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02432352 (Our Family Our Future), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
objectiveIn South Africa, adolescents account for the largest share of new HIV infections. Given the scale of the epidemic, millions of adolescents cope with familial HIV illness and AIDS orphanhood. Developing an understanding of adolescent resilience is vital for informing HIV and mental health prevention efforts.
designA cross-sectional survey of N = 195 South African adolescents, 13-15 years, and living in communities with high prevalence of HIV and poor mental health, was used to gather data on resilience, psychosocial factors, and mental health.
methodsParticipants were recruited through systematic community-based household sampling. Analysis was conducted on a subsample of adolescents identified as potentially vulnerable (n = 82); potential vulnerability was defined as adolescents living with HIV, residing with parents or caregivers living with HIV, or experiencing orphanhood. Differences on behavioral and psychosocial outcomes in those with higher and lower resilience were evaluated using SPSS software.
resultsAmong adolescents identified as potentially vulnerable (n = 82), those with higher resilience scores reported significantly lower behavioral problems using the total difficulties Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire score (P < 0.01) with a mean score difference of 2.76 (standard error = 1.02). Multivariate linear regressions were conducted with total difficulties Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire score as the dependent variable. Higher resilience among vulnerable youth was significantly associated with fewer behavioral problems (β = -0.229, P < 0.05), even after adjusting for variables that could also contribute to poor behavioral outcomes.
conclusionResilience is related to the behavioral health of vulnerable HIV-affected adolescents. Resilience-focused interventions hold promise for improving the behavioral health of adolescents living in high HIV prevalence settings.
