The long-term impact of family economic empowerment on viral suppression and mental health outcomes among adolescents living with HIV in low-income settings: A cluster-randomized controlled trial in Southern Uganda.
Trial report in Social science & medicine (1982), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectivesWe examined the impact of a family-based economic empowerment intervention on viral suppression and mental health among ALHIV. STUDY
designBetween 2013 and 2014, 702 participants aged 10-16, living with HIV, and taking antiretroviral therapy, were recruited from 39 clinics in Uganda. Twenty clinics (n = 358 participants) were randomized to the intervention and 19 clinics (n = 344 participants) were randomized to the control conditions. The intervention comprised a matched savings account, financial literacy training, and microenterprise workshops. The primary outcome was viral suppression, while the secondary outcomes included depression, hopelessness, and self-concept. We ran mixed-effects models to determine the intervention effects.
resultsAt enrollment, participants' mean age was 12 years. The intervention improved viral suppression, evidenced by significant intervention-by-time interaction effects [χ
conclusionsFamily EE interventions have the potential to improve viral suppression and mental health outcomes among ALHIV. These findings offer insights in designing programs and policies to improve outcomes among ALHIV.
