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

backgroundDespite global efforts, HIV/AIDS remains a significant public health challenge, with Türkiye witnessing a consistent rise in annual diagnoses. Patient satisfaction with antiretroviral therapy (ART) is crucial for treatment adherence and effectiveness. This study examines treatment satisfaction levels among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Türkiye and identifies associated factors. MATERIALS AND

methodsA cross-sectional prospective cohort study was conducted at Tepecik Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Türkiye, involving 238-PLWH receiving ART. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the HIV Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (HIVTSQ-12) and demographic/clinical forms. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and descriptive statistics were employed for data analysis.

resultsParticipants exhibited high overall treatment satisfaction, with significant associations between satisfaction levels and socio-demographic/clinical factors. Individuals with lower education levels, no substance use, minimal alcohol consumption, and suppressed viral loads reported higher satisfaction scores.

conclusionThis study highlights the potential for personalizing HIV treatment strategies based on socio-demographic and clinical factors. Findings emphasize the need to promote healthy lifestyles, enhance health literacy, and implement anti-addiction programs to improve treatment adherence and satisfaction among PLWH. Based on the findings, there is a need to develop strategies aimed at improving treatment satisfaction and outcomes in HIV management.
