Is Social Isolation Related to Emotion Dysregulation and Retention in Care Among Older Persons Living with HIV?
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Retention in care is important in managing HIV among older persons living with HIV (PLWH). We used Theory of Loneliness-loneliness affects emotion-regulatory processes which lead to dysfunctional health behaviors-to test whether social isolation is related to retention in care either directly or indirectly through emotion dysregulation in older PLWH (≥ 50 years of age; N = 144). Retention in care was defined as the proportion of attended scheduled medical visits; visit data were collected prospectively over 12 months from electronic medical records. Self-reported social isolation, emotion dysregulation, and covariates were assessed cross-sectionally at baseline. Most participants were male (60%), African American/Black (86%), and single (59%); 56% were optimally retained in care. Retention was related to monthly income, CD4 + T cell count, and drug use with no direct or indirect effects of social isolation on retention in care. Socioeconomic and behavioral vulnerabilities are closely related to retention in care among older PLWH.
