The Intersection of Inequitable Gender Norm Endorsement and HIV Stigma: Implications for HIV Care Engagement for Men in Ugandan Fishing Communities.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07221201 (Reducing the Intersecting Stigmas of HIV, Violence Victimization, and Mental Health), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 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.

Abstract
Men's engagement in the HIV care continuum may be negatively affected by adherence to inequitable gender norms, which may be exacerbated by HIV stigma. This cross-sectional study with 300 male fisherfolk in Uganda examined the independent and interacting effects of inequitable gender norm endorsement and HIV stigma on men's missed HIV care appointments and missed antiretroviral (ARV) doses. Greater gender inequitable norm endorsement was associated with increased odds of missed HIV clinic visits (adjusted odds ratio [AOR)] 1.44, 95% CI 1.16-1.78) and a statistically significant interaction between internalized HIV stigma and inequitable gender norms on missed ARV doses was identified (AOR 5.32, 95% CI 2.60-10.86). Adherence to traditional gender norms reduces men's HIV appointment attendance, and among men with high internalized stigma, increases the likelihood of poor treatment adherence. These findings point to the need for HIV interventions that reconfigure harmful gender norms with a focus on stigma reduction.
