Chronic pain and substance use disorders among older sexual minority men living with HIV: Implications for HIV disease management across the HIV care continuum.
Article in AIDS care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
HIV continues to be a critical health issue for sexual minority men (SMM) in the USA. Chronic pain is common in individuals with HIV, including older SMM, and is associated with substance use behaviors. This cross-sectional study sought to address a gap in the literature by characterizing interrelationships among chronic pain, substance use disorders (SUDs), medication adherence, and engagement in HIV care among older (≥50) SMM living with HIV and chronic pain (N = 63). The unadjusted relationship between an opioid use disorder and pain indicated that participants with an opioid use disorder reported higher pain ratings than those without. Presence of alcohol use disorder was significantly associated with missed HIV-care appointments due to chronic pain or substance use, showing that individuals with an alcohol use disorder reported more missed appointments in the past year. Higher pain was significantly associated with the same missed appointments variable, such that those reporting higher pain ratings also reported more missed appointments in the past year. These findings provide preliminary evidence of the interrelationships among chronic pain, SUDs, and engagement in HIV care among older SMM living with HIV and suggest that pain management in this population might support fuller engagement in HIV care.
