Retention and sustained viral suppression in HIV patients transferred to community refill centres in Kinshasa, DRC.
Article in Public health action, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04766710 (Implementation and Evaluation of a Community-Based Model for Delivery of Antiretroviral Therapy in Cambodia), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
settingIn 2010, Médecins Sans Frontières set up decentralised community antiretroviral therapy (ART) refill centres ("
objectiveTo assess retention in care and sustained viral suppression after transfer to three main PODI in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) (PODI Barumbu/Central, PODI Binza Ozone/West and PODI Masina I/East).
designRetrospective cohort study using routine programme data for adult HIV patients transferred from Kabinda Hospital to PODIs between January 2015 and June 2017.
resultsA total of 337 patients were transferred to PODIs: 306 (91%) were on ART for at least 12 months; 118 (39%) had a routine "12-month" viral load (VL) done, 93% (
conclusionRetention in care and viral suppression among patients in PODI with VL results were better than patients in clinic care and national outcomes.
