Text Messaging Improves HIV Care Continuum Outcomes Among Young Adult Trans Women Living with HIV: Text Me, Girl!
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 19 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Young adult trans women living with HIV in the US exhibit suboptimal advancement through the HIV Care Continuum relative to national averages. From December 2016 through May 2018, 134 young adult trans women living with HIV enrolled in Text Me, Girl!, a theory-based, trans-specific text-messaging intervention designed to improve HIV Care Continuum outcomes. Participants (N = 130) averaged 29.5 years, were predominantly Latinx (43%) or African American/Black (40%). Clustered logistic and ordinal logistic multivariable models (n = 105; 366 observations) indicate that through 18-month follow-up, increased exposure to the text-messaging intervention was associated with significant (p < 0.05) increased retention to HIV care (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.33) and biomarker-confirmed viral suppression (aOR 1.51); retention in the intervention was associated with significantly increased likelihood of ART uptake (aOR 2.95) and "excellent" ART adherence (aOR 10.44). Text Me, Girl! offers promising evidence that a unidirectional, automated text-messaging intervention can improve HIV care outcomes among young adult trans women living with HIV.
