Human immunodeficiency virus cascade-continuum of care stages and outcomes in a hospital in southern Brazil.

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
backgroundThe human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continuum of care cascade illustrates the 90-90-90 goals defined by the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (UNAIDS). The care cascade includes the following five steps: Diagnosis, linkage to care, retention in care, adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), and viral suppression.
aimTo elaborate the HIV cascade of patients diagnosed with HIV at the Nossa Senhora da Conceição Hospital (HNSC) and to determine possible local causes for the loss of patients between each step of the cascade.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with HIV infection from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016 and followed up until July 31, 2019. The data were analyzed by IBM SPSS software version 25, and Poisson regression with simple robust variance was used to analyze variables in relation to each step of the cascade. Variables with
resultsThe results were lower than those expected by the UNAIDS, with 94% of patients linked, 91% retained, 81% adhering to ART, and 84% in viral suppression. Age and site of follow-up were the variables with the highest statistical significance. A comparison showed that the cascade of patients from the HNSC had superior results than outpatients, with a significant difference in the last step of the cascade.
conclusionThe specialized and continued care provided at the HNSC was associated with better results and was closer to the goals set by the UNAIDS. The development of the HIV cascade using local data allowed for the stratification and evaluation of risk factors associated with the losses occurring between each step of the cascade.
