1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

HIV medication adherence is a topic of major public health concern in the United States. Adherent patients may be less likely to experience treatment failure, AIDS presentations and extreme medical costs. We evaluate a cohort of highly adherent Medicare beneficiaries to establish if the out of pocket costs of HIV medications are an inherent barrier to adherence. We analyzed a 100% sample of Medicare Part-D prescription medications. The drug and out ofpocket costs for HIV and non-HIV medications of highly adherent cohort were extracted and analyzed. The average gross drug cost per beneficiary was $34,029for HIV medications and $11,439for non-HIV medications. Average out of pocket costs per beneficiary was $454for HIV medications and $129 for non-HIV medications. Out of pocket costs do not reasonably appear to be a barrier to adherence for Part-D beneficiaries.
