ADHD as a Potential Risk Factor in Poor Antiretroviral Adherence Rates in HIV: A Brief Narrative Review and Suggestions for Future Research.
Review in Neuropsychology review, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 was a narrative review of the literature pertaining to antiretroviral adherence rates in patients with HIV, with a focus on ADHD as a potential risk for poor adherence. A connection is drawn between the cognitive symptoms of ADHD and risk factors for poor treatment adherence in HIV. Parallel associations between ADHD and poor treatment adherence in patients with diabetes are also discussed. Finally, some of the challenges in measuring medication adherence in patients with HIV are summarized. Future research may assess whether patients with comorbid ADHD and HIV have lower rates of adherence than those with HIV alone. Samples will need to be large to manage other contributing factors such as age; in our clinic, patients with HIV referred for ADHD evaluations tend to be younger than patients with HIV referred for assessment of other neurocognitive conditions. This artifact confounds attempts to compare adherence rates in patients with both ADHD and HIV versus those without, as younger age is independently associated with poorer medication compliance. Future research should also include the development of strategies to help infectious disease clinicians to measure adherence as well as the development of cognitive and behavioral strategies for improving adherence rates in patients at risk for poor medication compliance.
