Failure is not an option: Barriers to HIV treatment adherence in Kampala, Uganda.
Article in Health & place, 2021. 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
This study seeks to investigate challenges to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) treatment adherence and treatment outcomes in Kampala, Uganda. Data was collected from a survey administered to two cohorts of patients with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) receiving care and cART from the Joint Clinical Research Center (JCRC) in Kampala. Cohort I consisted of 93 individuals successfully treated on cART for a period of three years, while Cohort II consisted of 56 individuals who have experienced treatment failure with first-line cART within two years. We hypothesize that distance to the treatment facility would be a predictor of poor adherence and thus treatment failure. However, results suggested otherwise, whereby participants living more than 2 h away from their treatment facility were actually less likely to miss their daily dose of cART (OR = 0.33, p < .05), compared to those living in proximity to the treatment center. Further, high-income employment (OR = 3.82, p < .05) and partnered relationship status (OR = 4.28, p < .05) were predicted to increase the probability of missing doses. These findings may be explained by the deep-seated stigma which has remained pervasive in the lives of HIV-positive population in Kampala, even 30 years after the peak of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
