Multicenter observational survey on psychosocial and behavioral impacts of COVID-19 in people living with HIV in Northern Vietnam.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Socially marginalized groups, including people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), could be disproportionately affected by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Following an initial single-center survey conducted in 2020, we conducted a second survey of 11 antiretroviral therapy (ART) sites in Northern Vietnam between June 2021 and January 2022. We tested anti-SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) nucleocapsid IgG antibodies and assessed prevention against COVID-19 and impacts of COVID-19 on access to ART, economic security, risky health behaviors, and mental health using self-reported questionnaires. In total, 7808 PLHIV on ART participated in the second survey. The overall prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibody was as low as 1.2%. There was no clear upward trend in COVID-19 infection among PLHIV compared with the rate of infection among the general population. HIV treatment was generally maintained and no increase in risky health behaviors was observed. The economic impacts were significant, with high unemployment rate, poorer economic security, and binge drinking strongly associated with depression. However, the prevalence of depression decreased by 11.2% compared with pre-COVID-19 levels. Social support, including for patients to continue HIV treatment and effective employment/financial assistance, may help to alleviate the negative socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 and improve mental health among PLHIV.
