An Adherence-Enhancing Program Increases Retention in Care in the Swiss HIV Cohort.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundThis study tested a theory-based adherence-enhancing intervention: the "Interprofessional Medication Adherence Program" (IMAP) to increase human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) retention in care.
methodsWe retrospectively compared our intervention center (intervention group [IG]) with a standard of care center (control group [CG]) both participating in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study between 2004 and 2012. Endpoints were defined as >6-month and >12-month gaps in care for intervals of care longer than 6 and 12 months without any blood draw. Inverse probability of treatment weights was used to adjust for differences between patients at the 2 centers. Viral failure was defined as ribonucleic acid ≥50 copies/mL after 24+ weeks on antiretrovirals.
resultsThe IG included 451 patients, CG 311. In the IG, 179 (40%) patients took part in the IMAP for a median of 27 months (interquartile range, 12-45). Gaps in care of ≥6 months were significantly more likely to happen in the CG versus IG (74.6% vs 57%,
conclusionsThis study, in a real-world setting, shows the effectiveness of the IMAP to reduce 6- and 12-month gaps in follow up among people with HIV. These results should be confirmed by studies in other settings.
