Preference for care models among older people living with HIV: cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe number of people living with HIV (PWH) aged 50 and above is increasing. The question of care among older PWH (aged ≥ 50 years) is an increasing concern. Understanding the care preference of older people can better provide care services for them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the care preference (home-based care, self-care, institutional care, community-based care, and mutual-aid care) among older PWH and identify the factors affecting their care preference.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among older PWH (aged ≥ 50 years) about care preference from May to November 2021. We enrolled 319 participants using convenience sampling. We designed a questionnaire to assess the care preference of older PWH. The Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used to conduct univariate analysis of care preference. Multinomial logistic regression was used to identify factors influencing care preference.
resultsMost older PWH (72.7%) preferred home-based care, and few (15.7%) preferred self-care. Fewer older PWH preferred community-based care (5.3%), institutional care (5.0%) and mutual-aid care (1.3%). Multivariate analysis showed that older PWH with a house, spouse and more children were more inclined to choose home-based care (p < .05). Older PWH living alone, having higher monthly income and higher HIV stigma preferred to choose self-care (p < .05).
conclusionHome-based care was the most preferred model of older PWH, and self-care ranked second. The number of those who preferred institutional care, community-based care and mutual-aid care were few. Nation and government should take measures to allocate care resources for older adults reasonably to better meet the care needs of older PWH. It is important to strengthen social security, reduce internalized HIV stigma, improve social support, and explore diversified care models for improving the quality of life of older PWH.
