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

introductionAdolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) experience social and health challenges that warrant the provision of services and relational support to build resilience. Little is known about how social, community and health services help. We examine formal and alternative service use by and resilience of ALHIV participating in an enhanced teen-club clinic (TCC) programme. DESCRIPTION: TCC is an adolescent-centred differentiated care model offering a 'one-stop-shop' for HIV/Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services to ALHIV. A survey was conducted with 406 ALHIV to determine frequency of use and satisfaction with services. In addition, we conducted 26 in-depth interviews with ALHIV, 12 group discussions with 144 caregivers, and observations of workshops held for 35 health workers to capture multiple perspectives on service use and relational support systems for adolescent's wellbeing. DISCUSSION: About 70% of ALHIV were concurrently clients of three or more services. The multi-method analysis showed variations on risks, range of services, frequency of use and satisfaction. Interview data reflected complex factors influencing access to formal services, and caregivers and adolescents also sought alternative care from spiritual and traditional healers.

conclusionAdolescent centred-approaches have the potential to enhance resilience promoting resources and outcomes. A multi-sectoral approach to service use and provision is critical to inform adolescent intervention programs and wellbeing.
