HIV Infection and Depression Among Opiate Users in a US Epicenter of the Opioid Epidemic.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2021. 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
Using a mobile research facility, we enrolled 141 opioid users from a neighborhood of Philadelphia, an urban epicenter of the opioid epidemic. Nearly all (95.6%) met DSM-5 criteria for severe opioid use disorder. The prevalence of HIV infection (8.5%) was more than seven times that found in the general population of the city. Eight of the HIV-positive participants (67.0%) reported receiving antiretroviral treatment but almost all of them had unsuppressed virus (87.5%). The majority of participants (57.4%) reported symptoms consistent with major depressive disorder. Severe economic distress (60.3%) and homelessness were common (57%). Polysubstance use was nearly universal, 72.1% had experienced multiple overdoses and prior medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) treatment episodes (79.9%), but few currently engaged in addiction care. The prevalence, multiplicity and severity of chronic health and socioeconomic problems highlight consequences of the current opioid epidemic and underscore the urgent need to develop integrated models of treatment.
