"He Gave Me Spirit and Hope": Client Experiences with the Implementation of Community Health Worker Programs in HIV Care.
Article in AIDS patient care and STDs, 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
Community health workers (CHWs) are members of the frontline health workforce who serve as intermediaries between health services and communities. In the United States, the role of CHWs has begun to expand as they have been shown to improve outcomes and reduce inequities in care for chronic conditions. This study used qualitative methods to explore the experiences of clients in CHW programs to inform their implementation in HIV care. Thirty clients from 6 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program care settings across the United States participated in individual semistructured interviews to learn more about their experiences working with a CHW. Four key themes arose from the client perspective. First, CHWs embodied key qualities. Some of the qualities clients attributed to CHWs included being caring and supportive, along with capable of fostering personal connections. Second, CHWs met clients where they were. Clients described the CHW approach as more holistic compared with other care team members; they emphasized CHWs were able to focus on whatever was needed in that moment. Third, CHWs occupied a unique role in the HIV care team. Clients noted CHWs had more time to dedicate to their interactions; they also saw CHWs as representing a different level of authority. Finally, CHWs influenced how clients engaged with care and accessed resources. This included empowering clients to access resources independently in the future. Overall, clients' perceptions of CHWs in terms of their qualities, approach, role, and influence on the HIV care experience suggest they are a valuable resource on the care team.
