HIV-related stigma and associated factors: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 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
Background: It has been recognized that HIV-related stigma hinders efforts in testing, treatment, and prevention. In this systematic review, we aimed to summarize available findings on the association between HIV-related stigma and age, social support, educational status, depression, employment status, wealth index, gender, residence, knowledge about HIV, marital status, duration since diagnosis, and disclosure status using a large number of studies. Methods: Electronic databases including Scopus, Medline/PubMed, Web of Sciences (WOS), Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Open Research Dataset Challenge were systematically searched until 15 April 2023. We included all kinds of HIV-stigma studies, regardless of language, publishing date, or geographic location. The inclusion criteria were met by 40 studies, with a total of 171,627 patients. A mixed-effect model was used to pool estimates and evaluate publication bias, as well as to conduct sensitivity analysis. Results: Factors such as older age, social support, greater education, higher socioeconomic status, good knowledge of HIV, and longer years of living with HIV significantly lowered the likelihood of HIV-related stigma. Contrarily, factors such as depression, residing in rural areas, female respondents, and non-disclosure of HIV status were significantly associated with a high risk of HIV-related stigma. Conclusion: To combat systemic HIV-associated stigma, it is crucial to develop wholesome and comprehensive social methods by raising community-level HIV awareness. In addition to activism, local economic development is also crucial for creating thriving communities with a strong social fabric.
