Mental Health, Self-Care, and Engagement in Care among Black Women Living with HIV.
Article in Ethnicity & disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: Due to sociostructural factors, Black women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the United States represent the highest percentage of women with HIV and experience mental health struggles that impact health behaviors. This study examines associations between mental health, self-care, medication adherence, engagement with healthcare, HIV-related healthcare visits, and hospitalization. Methods: One hundred and nineteen Black women living with HIV in the Southeastern United States completed measures on scheduled visits (general and HIV-related healthcare), visits attended/missed/rescheduled, mental healthcare engagement (therapy and support groups), hospital visits (emergency room and overnight stays), medication adherence, and a clinician-administered interview assessing mental health. Results: Higher self-care was associated with fewer emergency room visits (β=-0.31, P<.001) and hospitalizations (β=-0.22, P<.05). Higher post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms were associated with hospitalization (β=0.23, P<.05) and missed HIV-related visits (β=0.20, P<.05) but higher outpatient mental healthcare visits for group psychotherapy (β=0.20, P< .05). Higher suicidality was associated with lower HIV-related healthcare visits scheduled (β=-0.26, P<.01). Higher HIV load was associated with higher HIV-related healthcare visits scheduled (β=0.45, P<.001) and hospitalization (β=0.41, P<.001). Higher Wisepill medication adherence (β=-0.28, P<.01) and self-reported adherence (β=-0.33, P<.001) were associated with fewer HIV missed visits. Higher self-reported adherence was associated with fewer emergency room visits (β=-0.38, P<.001) and hospitalizations (β=-0.27, P<.001). Conclusions: Our findings highlight the need for treating mental health symptoms and enhancing self-care among Black women living with HIV to improve engagement in care and health behaviors and decrease emergency room visits and hospitalization.
