"Who are You and What are You Doing Here?": Social Capital and Barriers to Movement along the HIV Care Cascade among Tajikistani Migrants with HIV to Russia.
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 10 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
Tajikistani migrants who work in Russia and acquire HIV seldom receive HIV treatment while in Russia. Barriers to engagement in the HIV care cascade were identified from in-depth, semi-structured interviews with purposefully sampled Tajikistani migrants (n = 34) with HIV who had returned from Russia. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, drawing from Putnam's theory of social capital, showing how bridging and bonding social capital relate to poor engagement in HIV care. We identified three barriers to Tajikistani migrants' movement through the HIV care cascade: (1) Russia's migration ban on people with HIV interrupts social capital accumulation and prevents access to HIV treatment within Russia; (2) mistrust of authority figures, including healthcare providers, leads to avoiding treatment and harm-reduction services upon their return to Tajikistan; and (3) because of pervasive discrimination, Tajikistani migrants form weak social ties while in Russia, which exacerbates risk, including with Russian citizens, and deters engagement with HIV care. Deploying a treatment as prevention strategy and abolishing Russia's ban on people with HIV would improve both individual and public health.
