Adherence to Option B
Article in HIV/AIDS (Auckland, N.Z.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeEven if progressive efforts were made in Ethiopia, half of new HIV infections result from mother-to-child transmission. Limited studies assessed the level and factors of adherence that differ among different populations across the country. So, this study aimed to investigate the level and predictors of adherence to the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) Option B
methodsA facility-based cross-sectional study design was conducted to interview 347 HIV positive pregnant women. Using a multistage sampling technique, participants were recruited from twelve health facilities based on probability proportional to the number of clients. The collected data on socio-demographics, healthcare delivery, clinical and individual factors were entered into EpiInfo v7.2.2.6, and further analysis was done using SPSS v23 software. Adherence was measured based on client self-report either as adherent and non-adherent. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were undertaken to see the association between variables. Statistically significant variables were declared using an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval.
