Ways of coping and perceived HIV-related stigma among people living with HIV: moderation by sex and sexual orientation.
Article in Psychology, health & medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Perceived HIV-related stigma continues to persist among people living with HIV and coping strategies are crucial to overall health. Coping may be associated with perceived HIV-related stigma. However, research examining differences by sex and sexual orientation is lacking. Therefore, the aims of the study were to assess the association between ways of coping and perceived HIV-related stigma, and to examine the relationship by sex and sexual orientation. Data were obtained from 346 individuals (191 men and 155 women) living with HIV. Multiple linear regression models showed that overall, distancing, and attack/escape avoidance coping were positively associated with perceived HIV-related stigma among the overall population, among men who have sex with men (MSM), and among women overall and heterosexual women. Among men overall, distancing and attack/escape avoidance coping were positively associated with perceived HIV-related stigma. Among women who have sex with women (WSW), attack/escape avoidance coping was positively associated with perceived HIV-related stigma. Effect sizes indicated small effects for overall coping and medium to large effects for distancing and attack/escape avoidance coping. Interventions focused on reducing perceived HIV-related stigma among populations living with HIV should address distancing and attack/escape avoidance strategies especially among women, regardless of sexual orientation, and MSM.
