Growing up positive: adolescent HIV disclosure to sexual partners and others.
Article in AIDS care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Over three million youth live with HIV worldwide. Very little is known about whether youth disclose their HIV status to family, friends or sexual partners, and what risks and benefits may accrue from doing so. This study characterizes HIV disclosure among 250 youth with perinatally-acquired HIV (PHIV; age 13-24 years) living in Soweto, South Africa. A third had self-disclosed their HIV status to at least one person; similarly, only a third of sexually-active PHIV had disclosed their HIV status to their most recent partner. It is not clear whether HIV disclosure alone leads to positive impact: we found perceived social support from the family was negatively associated with disclosure (aOR 0.81, 95% 0.70-0.94). PHIV who spoke to a provider about disclosure were more likely to share their HIV status with a sexual partner (aOR 2.48; 95% CI 1.28-4.81). However, those PHIV who disclosed their status were no more likely to use a condom. The World Health Organization recommends that health providers advise adolescent patients on safe disclosure, but we still lack evidence on the consequences for young people and effective tools to help them weigh benefits and risks.
