Qualitative Evaluation of Treatment Partners for People With HIV in Botswana: Current Healthcare Provider Practices and Recommendations for Improvement.
Article in Community health equity research & policy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Botswana has an adult HIV prevalence of 20.8% and annual incidence of 0.2%. We aimed to evaluate current practices and advance recommendations for treatment partners (informal adherence supporters) for people with HIV in Botswana. In January-February 2020, we conducted seven focus groups with 36 healthcare providers at seven HIV clinics in Gaborone, Botswana. Providers perceived treatment partners to be critical for quality patient care. They shared that in the new era of universal antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation immediately after diagnosis ("test-and-treat"), providers no longer require patients to select treatment partners at ART initiation. Providers suggested a renewed emphasis on treatment partners. They believed that standard guidance for providers around treatment partner selection would ensure that providers cover similar topics across patients and endorsed implementation of workshops to educate treatment partners on how to support patients. However, streamlined ART initiation policies require innovative strategies, including eHealth interventions, to engage treatment partners.
