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

Social support is a key, yet elusive resource for HIV patients living in poverty in Lima, Peru. Despite a greater need for health services and encouragement from others, economic restraints, stigma, and trouble negotiating a fractured health system act as hurdles to accessing support. In this study, 33 people with HIV and 15 of their treatment supporters were interviewed upon initiation of antiretroviral therapy in order to understand changes in social support during this critical time, and how these changes affected their well-being. Everyone's social network underwent dramatic transformation, while some were rejected upon disclosure by people they knew, many successfully trimmed their social circles to a few trusted parties. Treatment supporters were most frequently the first to whom they disclosed their HIV status, and most backed the person with HIV, although sometimes out of obligation. HIV peers became a vital new source of strength. Ultimately, people with HIV who successfully reorganized their social network drew personal strength and self-worth from new and old relationships in their lives.
