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

backgroundHIV/AIDS causes significant socioeconomic burden to affected households and individuals, which is exacerbated by non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The Asia Pacific Region (APR) comprises about 60% of the global population and has been significantly affected by HIV/AIDS with 5.8 million after Sub-Saharan Africa in 2019. We investigated socioeconomic impacts of HIV/AIDS alone and the added burden of NCDs on HIV-affected households (HIV-HHs) and individuals in the APR.

methodWe searched multiple databases for studies published in English over 30 years on socioeconomic impact of HIV/AIDS alone and HIV/AIDS with NCDs on affected households or individuals in APR. Findings were synthesised across six domains: employment, health-related expenditure, non-health expenditure, strategies for coping with household liabilities, food security, and social protection.

findingsHIV-HHs had a significantly higher socioeconomic burden compared to Non-HIV households. Total household expenditure was lower in HIV-HHs but with higher expenditure on health services. HIV-HHs experienced more absenteeism, lower wages, higher unemployment, and higher food insecurity. There is a paucity of evidence on the added burden of NCDs on HIV-HHs with only a single study from Myanmar.

interpretationUnderstanding the socioeconomic impact of HIV/AIDS with and without NCD is important. The evidence indicates that HIV-HHs in APR suffer from a significantly higher socioeconomic burden than Non-HIV-HHs. However, evidence on the additional burden of NCDs remains scarce and more studies are needed to understand the joint socioeconomic impact of HIV/AIDS and NCDs on affected households.
