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

The study examines the reliability and validity of a 3-item self-report adherence measure among people with HIV (PWH) experiencing homelessness, substance use, and mental health disorders. 336 participants were included from nine sites across the US between September 2013 and February 2017. We assessed the validity of a self-report scale for adherence to antiretroviral therapy by comparing it with viral load (VL) abstracted from medical records at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months. The items had high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficients at each time point were > 0.8). The adherence scale scores were higher in the group that achieved VL suppression compared to the group that did not. The c-statistic for the receiver-operating characteristic curves pooled across time points was 0.77 for each adherence sub-item and 0.78 for the overall score. The self-report adherence measure shows good internal consistency and validity that correlated with VL suppression in homeless populations.
