Loss as Experienced by Ugandan Grandparent-Caregivers of Children Affected by HIV/AIDS.
Article in Journal of loss & trauma, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Despite increasing numbers of studies investigating grandparent-caregivers of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, research on their mental and physical health remains inadequate. We provide a qualitative account of the nature, extent, and relationships among multiple variations of loss emerging from 32 interviews with Ugandan grandparent-caregivers of grandchildren affected by HIV/AIDS. Regardless the type or nature of the loss, participants expressed physical, emotional, and financial distress as a result. This cumulative loss and subsequent grief could potentially be associated with mental and physical health problems. Research to further explore the concept of loss among this vulnerable population is recommended.
