"I got so much on my plate": Understanding care discontinuity for HIV and HCV among formerly incarcerated persons.
Article in Health services research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo explore barriers to care continuity among formerly incarcerated persons with HIV and/or hepatitis C. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY
settingWe draw on data from semi-structured interviews conducted in 2018-2019 with 30 formerly incarcerated persons and 10 care providers. Data were collected across two clinics in Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. STUDY
designWe recruited participants using a combination of nonprobability sampling techniques. Participants completed closed-ended questionnaires and took part in semi-structured interviews related to treatment barriers and incentives. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION
methodsInterviews were transcribed using Express Scribe software and transcriptions were open coded using NVivo 12 software. An iterative process was used to relate and build upon emergent themes in interviews. PRINCIPAL
findingsOur study illuminates both internal and external barriers to care continuity. The most common external barriers were system navigation and housing instability. Internal barriers consisted of overlapping issues related to mental health, substance use, and feelings of shame and/or denial.
conclusionAn overarching theme is that formerly incarcerated persons with HIV and/or HCV are grappling with numerous challenges that can threaten their health and health care. These barriers are cumulative, intersecting, and reciprocal.
