[Determinants of non-compliance with antiretroviral therapy in adult patients in Kinshasa].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionthe purpose of this study was to identify the determinants of non-compliance of persons living with HIV with antiretroviral treatment in Kinshasa.
methodswe conducted a cross-sectional study in Kinshasa from 1
resultsthe 400 patients living with HIV had a median age of 43 years (18-75). Global non-compliance rate was 25.5%. Objective non-compliance rate was higher than that of subjective non-compliance (29% vs 21%, p = 0.01). Payment for consultation [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.70; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.02-2.81; p = 0.042), adverse reactions (AOR: 2.23; 95% CI: 1.33-3.75; p = 0.002) and the lack of awareness that missing a dose may worsen disease (AOR: 4.16; 95% CI: 1.04-16.68; p = 0.045) were determinants of non-compliance. Having trusted person was a protective factor versus non-compliance (AOR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.39-0.93; p = 0.004).
conclusionthe rate of non-compliance with antiretroviral treatment is high in Kinshasa. The evaluation of determinants is necessary to establish strategies for improving compliance.
