Heavy Alcohol Use Among Women and Men Living With HIV in Uganda, Russia, and the United States.
Article in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveWe examined whether gender is associated with heavy drinking in three cohorts of people living with HIV (PLWH) in Mbarara, Uganda; St. Petersburg, Russia; and Boston, Massachusetts.
methodWe conducted secondary analyses of baseline data collected from three cohorts in the Uganda Russia Boston Alcohol Network for Alcohol Research Collaboration on HIV/AIDS (URBAN ARCH) consortium. We used multiple logistic regression models to evaluate the association between gender and heavy drinking (defined in combination with self-report and phosphatidylethanol [PEth]) within each cohort.
resultsIn unadjusted logistic regression models, we found no significant association between gender and heavy drinking in Russia or Boston. In Uganda, women were less likely than men to engage in heavy drinking (odds ratio = 0.38, 95% CI [0.26, 0.58],
conclusionsWe did not detect associations between gender and heavy drinking in cohorts of PLWH in Russia or Boston, suggesting that heavy drinking may be as common in women living with HIV as in men living with HIV in these locations. Although these cohorts were enriched with heavy drinking participants, which limits broad extrapolation to PLWH in those settings, nonetheless the findings are concerning given the significant morbidity associated with alcohol use among PLWH and women in particular.
