1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Clinically notable apathy occurs in approximately one-third of persons living with HIV (PLWH). Drawing from psychological theory, this cross-sectional study examined the interplay between apathy and social support in persons with (n = 143) and without (n = 61) HIV disease. Analyses were conducted using multiple regression and mediation procedures with 95th percentile bootstrap confidence intervals. Positive HIV serostatus and lower social support were associated with more frequent apathy, independent of other mood symptoms. Social support did not moderate apathy's associations with everyday functioning among PLWH, but post hoc analyses revealed that apathy mediated the relationship between social support and everyday functioning among PLWH. Stronger social support may provide a buffer against the frequency of apathy symptoms in persons with and without HIV disease. The relationship between lower social support and poorer everyday functioning in HIV might be partly explained by apathy. Longitudinal research is needed to examine the mechanisms of these relationships.
