HIV Conspiracy Theory Belief or Institutional Mistrust? A Call for Disentangling Key Concepts.
Article in AIDS research and human retroviruses, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Researchers studying the mental health implications of HIV continue to conflate institutional mistrust (i.e., medical and/or governmental) with HIV conspiracy theory belief despite a multitude of existing scales that measure both independently. Although this conflation is made frequently, measuring for HIV conspiracy theory belief in select (largely black) populations while choosing to forgo a scale for the assessment of institutional mistrust is likewise a fairly common practice. Therefore, research done on the prevalence of HIV conspiracy theories in black populations ought to be scrutinized for bias. By doing so, the differences and similarities of these phenomena would be clarified and perhaps the way could be paved for a new HIV conspiracy theory belief scale that factors in the Internet's profound effect on conspiracy theory dissemination while ensuring the ethical practice of HIV-related research in the future.
