Modified Antiretroviral Treatment Access Study (MARTAS): A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Efficacy of a Linkage-to-Care Intervention Among HIV-Positive Patients in Ukraine.
Trial report in AIDS and behavior, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02338024 (Enhancing Linkage to HIV Care for Newly Detected HIV-positive Persons in Ukraine), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
Between October 2015 and March 2018, we conducted the Modified Antiretroviral Treatment Access Study (MARTAS), a nurse-delivered case management intervention to improve linkage-to-care for persons recently tested HIV positive. Adult participants from nine urban clinics in three regions of Ukraine were randomized to either MARTAS or standard of care (SOC) using individual, parallel, two-arm design. The main study outcome was linkage-to-care (defined as registration at an HIV clinic) within a 3-month period from enrollment in the study. Intention-to-treat analysis of MARTAS (n = 135) versus SOC (n = 139) showed intervention efficacy in linkage to HIV care (84.4% vs. 33.8%; adjusted RR 2.45; 95% CI 1.72, 3.47; p < 0.001). MARTAS is recommended for implementation in Ukraine and may be helpful in other countries with similar gaps in linkage-to-care. Clinicaltrials.gov registration number: NCT02338024.
