HIV-related stigma trends in the general population of India during an era of antiretroviral treatment expansion, 2005-16.
Article in Journal of global health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundIn India, which has the world's third-largest HIV epidemic, the extent to which levels of HIV-related stigma have changed during an era of ART scale-up is unknown.
methodsWe analyzed data from the 2005-06 and 2015-16 National Family Health Surveys (NFHS) to estimate trends in two stigma domains among people in the general population: desires for social distance from people living with HIV (ie, unwillingness to interact) and fear of serostatus disclosure in the case of a hypothetical HIV infection. We fitted multivariable linear probability models to the data with year of NFHS as the explanatory variable and alternately specifying fear of disclosure or desires for social distance as the dependent variable. Analyses were stratified by sex, state, and high vs low HIV prevalence states.
resultsWe included data on 172 795 women and 159 194 men. Desires for social distance declined in 2015-16 compared with 2005-06 (38% in 2015-16 vs 43% in 2005-06; adjusted
conclusionsDuring the first decade of ART scale-up in India, fear of HIV serostatus disclosure in the general population increased despite a decline in desires for social distance.
