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

Hazardous alcohol use and psychological distress are common among persons living with HIV (PLWH). In Uganda, HIV prevalence is 6.2% with average pure alcohol consumption per capita of 9.8 L. Social support may mitigate hazardous alcohol use. In a cohort of 443 PLWH, we measured social support using the Duke-UNC functional social support scale and self-reported alcohol consumption using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C), augmented by phosphatidylethanol (PEth). We examined the association between low social support and hazardous alcohol use using multiple logistic regression models. 30% had low social support and 44% had hazardous alcohol use (AUDIT-C ≥ 3 for women and ≥ 4 for men and/or PEth ≥ 50 ng/mL). We did not detect an association between low social support and hazardous alcohol use. Social support may play no role or a minimal role in preventing PLWH from hazardous alcohol use.
