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

Understanding depression, alcohol use, and sexual behaviors according to HIV infection stage and diagnosis timing is important for HIV prevention efforts. We enrolled persons with recent infection and diagnosis (i.e., acute HIV infection (AHI) (n = 92) persons newly diagnosed seropositive (n = 360)) and persons previously diagnosed with HIV (n = 190) into a randomized controlled trial in Lilongwe, Malawi (N = 641) and estimated the prevalence of probable depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 ≥ 5), hazardous alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test-C: men ≥ 4; women ≥ 3), and sexual behaviors (transactional sex, condomless sex). Compared with previously diagnosed participants, participants newly seropositive and those with AHI reported a higher proportion of probable depression (7%, 27%, 38%; AHI/Previous: Table Probability: 0.02, p < 0.01; AHI/New: Table Probability: <0.01, p < 0.01), hazardous alcohol use (8%, 18%, 29%; AHI/Previous and AHI/New: Table Probability: <0.01, p < 0.01), and transactional sex (5%, 14%, 20%; AHI/Previous: Table Probability: <0.01, p < 0.01; AHI/New: Table Probability: 0.06, p = 0.24), respectively. HIV prevention services addressing mental health and alcohol misuse may be particularly beneficial for persons with recent HIV infection and or diagnosis.
