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

This study examined the hypothesis that HIV-related stigma mediates the effect of alcohol use on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among alcohol consuming Indian men living with HIV (PLWH). The study used baseline data from a randomized controlled clinical trial entitled 'Alcohol and ART adherence: Assessment, Intervention, and Modeling in India. Participants completed surveys assessing demographic characteristics, alcohol use, HIV-related stigma, HRQoL. Mediation analysis was conducted to establish the mediation effect of HIV-related stigma on the relationship between alcohol use and HRQoL. The final mediation model showed that the effect of alcohol use on HRQoL were partially mediated by overall HIV-related stigma. Specially, 27.1% of the effects of alcohol use on HRQoL was mediated through overall HIV stigma. In the HIV stigma subdomain analyses, negative self-image mediated 14% and concerns with public attitudes (anticipated stigma) mediated 17.3% of the effect of alcohol use on HRQoL respectively. The findings suggest that efforts to reduce the negative impact of alcohol use on HRQoL and improve HRQoL among PLWH should include interventions addressing both alcohol use and specific forms of HIV-related stigma.
