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

Adolescents and young adults living with perinatally-acquired HIV (AYLPHIV) have poor outcomes along each step of the HIV care continuum due to challenges in seeking care and advocating for themselves. The transition from paediatric to adult HIV care is a particularly high-risk period for AYLPHIV in rural Uganda. We conducted in-depth interviews with AYLPHIV (n = 30), caregivers (n = 10), and healthcare providers (n = 10) to understand challenges facing AYLPHIV during the transition from paediatric to adult HIV care. Themes were identified by thematic content analysis. Transition-related challenges and fears included difficulty navigating the adult HIV clinic; loss of informational support; long wait times at the adult HIV clinic; lack of privacy, and fear of HIV status disclosure and stigma; and loss of support from caregivers, and health care providers. Before transitioning to adult HIV care, AYLPHIV should be adequately prepared and given appropriate information to help them navigate adult HIV care.
