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

South Africa developed the differentiated service delivery (DSD) model to improve access to healthcare for people living with HIV (PLHIV), especially key populations (KPs) including female sex workers (FSWs) who often face barriers in accessing HIV services. The DSD model, aims to reduce the burden on healthcare users, healthcare workers, and the healthcare system, can significantly benefit this group. However, the success of the DSD model in achieving the desired HIV treatment outcomes for FSWs has been barely evaluated. This paper describes the protocol for evaluation of the DSD model in improving HIV treatment outcomes among FSWs in Gauteng Province of South Africa. Both qualitative and quantitative methods will be utilized to address three study objectives: stakeholder analysis, mapping, and in-depth interviews (objective 1); programme evaluation of the DSD model in selected sites (objective 2); and development of a framework for optimizing the DSD model in improving HIV treatment outcomes (objective 3). Quantitative statistical analysis will be performed using STATA version 17 (College Station, TX, USA). Qualitative analysis will be performed using ATLAS.ti. This study will provide new insights into the utilization of the DSD model among FSWs in South Africa. It will also inform new strategies for the DSD model's implementation in the country. This study will contribute towards the development of a framework for strengthening the DSD model in improving HIV treatment outcomes among FSWs in Gauteng Province.
