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
introductionThe indigenous Papuans of Indonesia's Tanah Papua Island have been a distinct cultural and racial entity from the rest of the country's inhabitants. Furthermore, antiretroviral therapy's inability to reduce mortality and incidence rates in this region has sparked public interest in HIV issues, which has resulted in increased stigma. Papuans were more interested in memorizing the symptoms than using antiretroviral as an effective therapy. This study aimed to analyze the coping level of HIV-infected Papuans to overcome related stigma.
methodsA qualitative study was conducted with data collected through semi-structured interviews in 2018, and 13 Papuans who had experiences with antiretroviral therapy (ART) participated in audio-recorded interviews. The discussions were focused on the ways to deal with stigma after the HIV diagnosis. Furthermore, data were transcribed verbatim using the framework analysis for qualitative study.
resultsAccording to the study results, Papuans were shown to have effectively used self-distancing, self-blame, and self-stigmatization coping mechanisms, according to the results. The people temporarily utilize ART until their health returns to normal.
conclusionsThis study indicates that ART has been used to cope with stigma. However, the use was temporary since the misunderstanding regarding use of ART remains high. ART education should be addressed since Papuans are willing to adopt the method provided the benefits are fully comprehended. In addition, the participation of healthcare workers such as pharmacies should be increased since they can explain antiretroviral terms.
