The Effect of Initial Patient Experiences and Life Stressors on Predicting Lost to Follow-Up in Patients New to an HIV Clinic.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We conducted a prospective cohort study of 450 patients new to an HIV clinic in Houston, TX, to examine the roles of life stressors and initial care experiences in predicting being lost to follow-up in the first year of care. Patients completed a self-administered survey following their initial provider visit. In logistic regression models, patients who reported better experiences with the HIV provider at the first visit were less likely to be lost to follow-up at 6 months (aOR = 0.866, p = 0.038) and 12 months (aOR = 0.825, p = 0.008). Patients with a higher burden of stressful life events were more likely to be lost to follow-up at 6 months (aOR = 1.232, p = 0.037) and 12 months (aOR = 1.263, p = 0.029). Assessments of patient experience and life stressors at the initial visit have potential to predict patients at risk of dropping out of care.
