Food Insecurity at HIV Diagnosis Associated with Subsequent Viremia Amongst Adults Living with HIV in an Urban Township of South Africa.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
We assessed the temporal impact of food insecurity on 12-month antiretroviral (ART) adherence, retention in care, hospitalization, and HIV viremia (> 1000 copies/mL) in ART naïve adults presenting for HIV testing in Umlazi, South Africa. At the time of HIV testing and prior to ART initiation, we determined each participants' food security status using the validated Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS). Following HIV testing and ART initiation, we then assessed the above outcomes of each study participant at 3-month intervals for a total of 12 months. Among 2,383 participants with HIV in this study, 253 (10.6%) experienced food insecurity. We found that food insecurity is associated with 20% higher adjusted prevalence odd ratios (aPOR) of having HIV viremia (> 1000 copies/mL) at 12 months following initial diagnosis (aPOR 1.2, 95% CI 1.1-1.4). We found no significant differences in ART adherence, retention in care, and hospitalization occurrences between the food secure and food insecure cohorts.
