Process evaluation of the 90-90-90 targets of surge project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a case study evaluation.

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
backgroundHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a major public health problem that continues to pose an enormous challenge to mankind's survival worldwide. In urban Ethiopia, the HIV prevalence among adults aged 15-49 years is 2.9%, while in Addis Ababa, it is 3.4%. To take the edge off, the Ethiopian government has been implementing the 90-90-90 strategy also known as the surge project, in urban cities. However, the implementation of the program has not been evaluated. Thus, we evaluated the process of the 90-90-90 targets of the surge project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
methodsWe conducted a case study with concurrent mixed-methods evaluation. We used indicator-driven evaluation dimensions -availability and accommodation dimensions from the health services access and compliance and fidelity from implementation fidelity frameworks to test the program process theory with a total of 52 indicators. We interviewed a total of 419 clients and 210 healthcare providers and reviewed 417 clients' cards and 17 registries. We also conducted 30 key informant interviews and resource inventory. A binary logistic regression analysis was done to identify factors associated with clients' satisfaction. We transcribed and translated the qualitative data and analysed thematically. Finally, we judged the overall process of the surge project based on the pre-seated judgmental criteria as; needs urgent improvement, needs improvement and well implemented.
resultsWe found that 90% of the project process was as per the program process theory measured by the availability of resources (95.8%), compliance (88.0%), fidelity (84.7%), and accommodation of services (89.3%). We found a shortage of human power, test kits, and viral load testing machines. The commitment of health care providers, provider-client interaction, and clients' satisfaction with the service at card rooms were found to be poor. Moreover, being aged 15-24, being married and government government-employed were negatively associated with clients' satisfaction with antiretroviral therapy services.
conclusionThe process of the surge project needs improvement. Moreover, the achievements of the first two 90-90 targets were poor. Therefore, implementers need to take intensified action for the availability of resources and to improve the commitment of healthcare providers through refreshment training.
