Pathways to Depression and Poor Quality of Life Among Adolescents in Western Kenya: Role of Anticipated HIV Stigma, HIV Risk Perception, and Sexual Behaviors.
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 25 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Depression is a major cause of disease burden and is linked to poor quality of life (QOL) among adolescents. We examined the roles of sexual behaviors, HIV risk perception, and anticipated HIV stigma on depressive symptomatology and QOL among 4096 adolescents in a rural region of western Kenya with a high burden of HIV. Participants were aged 15-19 years, had not been tested for HIV in the previous 6 months, and had never been diagnosed with HIV. Anticipated stigma and risk perception were directly associated with depressive symptomatology and QOL. There was evidence of small indirect effects-through stigma-of risk perception on depressive symptomatology and QOL. Gender moderated relationships between sexual behavior and risk perception, depressive symptomatology, and QOL. Results suggest that developing effective gender-based interventions to address stigma, sexual behavior, and risk perception may be important for improving adolescent well-being in high HIV prevalence contexts.
