A Mixed Methods, Observational Investigation of Physical Activity, Exercise, and Diet Among Older Ugandans Living With and Without Chronic HIV Infection.
Observational study in The Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care : JANAC. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
abstractPeople living with HIV (PLWH) are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Physical activity, exercise, and controlled diet can mitigate this risk, yet these behaviors are understudied in sub-Saharan Africa. Our objective was to describe and compare the meaning, value, and patterns of physical activity, exercise, and diet among PLWH and older adults without HIV in Uganda. This mixed methods, observational study included 30 adult PLWH and 29 adults without HIV who (a) wore an accelerometer to measure physical activity; (b) had weight, height, and waist and hip circumference measured; (c) completed physical fitness measures; and (d) used digital cameras to record photographs and videos of their typical diet and physical activities. Participants were approximately 58 years old and 68% female. Approximately 20% of PLWH and 40% of adults without HIV met physical activity guidelines (p > .05). Qualitative themes included engaging in a variety of exercise, structural barriers to exercising, and typical meals. Older adults in Uganda have low levels of physical activity and homogenous diets, increasing their risk for cardiovascular disease.
