Exploring the evolution of policies for universal antiretroviral therapy and their implementation across three sub-Saharan African countries: Findings from the SHAPE study.

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
Universal antiretroviral therapy (ART) strategies have dramatically changed HIV programming across sub-Saharan Africa. We explored factors that influenced the development, adoption and implementation of universal ART policies in Tanzania, South Africa and Malawi. We conducted 26 key informant interviews and applied Kingdon's 'streams' model to explore how problems, policies and politics converged to provide a window of opportunity for universal ART roll-out. Weak health systems and sub-optimal care retention were raised as
