Correlates of Depression in ART Adherence among Youths in Lilongwe, Malawi.
Article in Tropical medicine and infectious disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Despite collaborative efforts to improve mental health services among youths living with HIV (YLHIVs) aged 15-24, evidence shows that many suffer from depression. We established the correlates of depression and how it affects ART adherence. Structured questionnaires, a Patient Health Questionnaire 9 depression scale assessment, in-depth interviews, and Electronic Medical Record reviews were conducted at the Lighthouse Trust Martin Preus Centre (MPC) ART clinic in Lilongwe from April 2021 to October 2022. A total of 303 YLHIVs aged 15-24 were on ART, and 7 key informants were recruited. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed using STATA V14.1. A thematic content analysis was used for qualitative data. Forty-six per cent of recruits were male, and fifty-four per cent were female. Seventy-one per cent were aged 20-24, and twenty-nine per cent were aged 15-19. Twenty-three per cent of the YLHIVs had depression symptoms, of whom seventy-nine per cent were aged 20-24 years. Twenty-two per cent had an unsuppressed viral load (non-adherent). Sixty-seven per cent of non-adherent participants were aged 20-24. There was no factor associated with ART non-adherence.
