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

Women, particularly those from racial/ethnic minority groups, experience disparities in HIV care and treatment, and in achieving viral suppression. This study identified barriers and facilitators influencing retention in HIV care and treatment adherence among women belonging to racial/ethnic minority groups. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 74 African American, Hispanic/Latina and Haitian cisgender women receiving care from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program in Miami-Dade County, Florida in 2019. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The most salient barriers faced by women were competing life priorities, mental health and substance use issues, medication-related concerns and treatment burden, negative experiences with HIV care services, transportation and parking issues and stigma and discrimination. Important facilitators identified by women included taking personal responsibility for health, social support, and patient-friendly and supportive HIV care services. Our findings suggest that HIV care could be enhanced for this population by understanding the non-HIV needs of the women in care, provide more flexible and relevant services in response to the totality of these needs, and simplify and expand access to care and supportive services.
