Mental Bandwidth is Associated with HIV and Viral Suppression Among Low-Income Women in Philadelphia.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Behavioral economics research suggests poverty may influence behavior by reducing mental bandwidth, increasing future discounting, and increasing risk aversion. It is plausible that these decision-making processes are further impaired in the context of HIV or pregnancy. In this cross-sectional study of 86 low-income women in Philadelphia, multivariable models showed that HIV was associated with decreased mental bandwidth (one of two measures) and lower risk aversion. Pregnancy was not associated with any decision-making factors. Viral suppression was associated with greater mental bandwidth (one of two measures), and antenatal care engagement with lower future discounting. Anti-poverty interventions may be particularly beneficial to improve health behaviors in the context of HIV.
