Article in Health services insights, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
HIV-related stigma remains a barrier to ART adherence among people living with HIV (PLWH) globally. People who inject drugs (PWID) may face additional stigma related to their behavior or identity; yet, there is little understanding of how these stigmas may co-exist and interact among these key populations. This study aims to explore the existence of multiple dimensions of HIV-related stigma, and how they may intersect with stigma related to drug injection. The study took place in Vietnam, where the HIV epidemic is concentrated among 3 key population groups; of those, PWID account for 41% of PLWH. The vast majority (95%) of PWID in Vietnam are male. Data came from in-depth interviews with 30 male PWID recruited from outpatient clinics, where they had been receiving ART medications. Deductive, thematic analysis was employed to organize stigma around the 3 dimensions: enacted, anticipated, and internalized stigma. Findings showed that HIV- and drug use-related stigma remained high among participants. All 3 stigma dimensions were prevalent and perceived to come from different sources: family, community, and health workers. Stigmas related to HIV and drug injection intersected among these individuals, and such intersection varied widely across types of stigma. The study revealed nuanced perceptions of stigma among this marginalized population. It is important for future studies to further investigate the influence of each dimension of stigma, and their interactive effects on HIV and behavioral outcomes among PWID.
