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
purposeThe number of people living and ageing with HIV is increasing. Insight into their well-being is lacking. The present study was conducted to explore needs, psychosocial issues and experiences of ageing in older adults living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Sweden.
methodsA qualitative approach was employed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a convenience sample of 22 participants aged 65 years or older living with HIV in Sweden. Thematic analysis based on descriptive phenomenology was used.
resultsBeing an older adult living with HIV emerged as a multifaceted experience. The meaning and impact of HIV varied from minimal to substantial, and ageing could overshadow the significance of HIV in everyday life. Three themes emerged: 1) increasing age in the foreground, 2) internalizing HIV in everyday life, and 3) socioemotional impact on everyday life.
conclusionsThe findings suggest a need for a more holistic approach to care of older adults living with HIV, recognizing the broader context of healthy ageing. While participants experienced good health, challenges related to ageing persist, and experiencing HIV-related stigma. The findings highlight the importance of empowering older adults living with HIV.
