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

backgroundFemale sex workers (FSWs) face a confluence of multilevel barriers to HIV care. In South Africa, 63% of FSWs are living with HIV and <40% are virally suppressed. The objective of this analysis was to identify implementation determinants of 2 HIV treatment support strategies.

methodsThe Siyaphambili trial tested a decentralized treatment provision and an individualized case management strategy aimed to support FSWs living with unsuppressed HIV viral loads. We identified a nested sample of trial participants using maximum variation sampling (n = 36) as well as a purposively selected sample of implementors (n = 12). We used semistructured interview guides, developed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and deductively coded the transcripts using CFIR, systematically assessing the strength and valence of implementation. We compared construct ratings to determine whether any constructs distinguished implementation across strategies.

resultsAcross 3 CFIR domains (innovation characteristics, inner setting, and outer setting), 12 constructs emerged as facilitating, hindering, or having mixed effects on strategy implementation. The relative advantage, design, adaptability, and complexity constructs of the innovation characteristics and the work infrastructure construct of the inner setting were strongly influential (±2 or +2). While the majority of construct valence and strength rating (9-12) were not distinguishing across strategies, we observed 3 weakly distinguishing CFIR constructs (relative advantage, complexity, and available resources).

conclusionsGiven the potential benefits of differentiated service delivery strategies, identifying the relative importance of implementation determinants facilitates transparency and evaluation, supporting future strategy design and implementation. Optimizing implementation will support addressing inequities in HIV care and treatment services.
