1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAntiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence is essential to maintenance of undetectable viral loads among people living with HIV, which improves health and reduces HIV transmission. Despite these benefits, some people living with HIV do not maintain the level of adherence required to sustain an undetectable viral load. This problem is particularly common among people who use drugs.

objectiveTo determine effects of incentivizing viral suppression in people living with HIV who used cocaine or opiates.

methodsIn this secondary analysis of data collected during a randomized controlled trial, participants (N=102) with detectable HIV viral loads (>200 copies/mL) were randomly assigned to a Usual Care or Incentive group. Usual Care participants did not earn incentives for viral suppression. Incentive participants earned incentives ($10/day maximum) for providing blood samples with reduced or undetectable (<200 copies/mL) viral loads. All participants completed assessments every three months. Results collected during the first year were compared based on group assignment and drug use.

resultsAmong participants who used cocaine or opiates, Incentive participants (n = 27) provided more (OR:4.0, CI:1.6-10.3, p = .004) blood samples with an undetectable viral load (69 %) than Usual Care participants (n = 25; 41 %). Among participants who did not use cocaine or opiates, Incentive participants (n = 25) provided more (OR:4.1, CI:1.5-10.7, p = .005) blood samples with an undetectable viral load (78 %) than Usual Care participants (n = 25; 36 %). Effects of incentives did not differ by drug use (OR:1.0, CI:0.3-4.0, p = .992).

conclusionsIncentivizing viral suppression can promote undetectable viral loads in people living with HIV who use cocaine or opiates.
