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

Poor psychosocial well-being, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and high anticipated stigma, complicates young South Africans' engagement with HIV care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the psychosocial well-being of young South Africans with HIV may have been impacted by changing levels of social support. This analysis sought to examine whether social support mediates the relationship between the pandemic and psychosocial well-being in young South Africans with HIV. This secondary analysis compared baseline data from two cohorts of young people ages 18-24 who tested HIV positive either before or during South Africa's COVID-19 State of Disaster. Baseline sociodemographic, social support-related, and psychosocial data were analyzed using linear regression and mediation analyses. We found that self-esteem was higher (χ
