Exploring optimal HAART adherence rates in Ethiopian adults: 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 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Optimal medication adherence is vital for the successful implementation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in managing HIV infection. Global efforts aim to minimize the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), including HIV-associated drug resistance. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA guidelines and searched multiple databases for eligible studies published until July 10, 2023. Eligible studies focused on Ethiopians receiving HAART, reported the prevalence of optimal adherence, and used appropriate assessment tools. Quality of included studies was assessed using JBI checklists A weighted inverse variance random-effects model was applied to calculate the pooled prevalence. Results: Our meta-analysis aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of optimum Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) adherence among HIV-positive adults in Ethiopia and explore variations based on assessment methods, recall periods, and regional factors. The estimated national pooled prevalence of optimal HAART adherence was 79% (95% CI: 74-83, Conclusions: The estimated overall prevalence of optimal adherence was 79%, indicating a substantial level of adherence to HAART in the Ethiopian context. The study identified variations in adherence levels based on assessment methods and recall periods, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in evaluating adherence rates. These insights contribute valuable information for policymakers, healthcare practitioners, and researchers working toward enhancing HAART adherence in Ethiopia.
