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

Our objective was to assess human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) knowledge and sexual behaviors in 294 perinatally HIV-infected youth aged 18 to 25 years from a psychosocial support group in Kampala using a self-administered survey. Seventy-nine percent reported an undetectable viral load, 9.5% detectable, and 12% did not know. Of those with sexual partners, 19% did not know the HIV status of their partner, 64% knew negative, and 22% knew positive. Sixty-two percent disclosed their HIV status to their partner. Seventy-two percent of participants previously had sex, and of those, 57% were sexually active in the last three months. Sixty-eight percent of participants used methods to prevent pregnancy. Seventy percent of participants denied physical, sexual, or emotional intimate partner violence. There was good adherence to antiretroviral therapy and a high proportion of contraceptive use, highlighting the importance of integrating these topics into psychosocial support programs for youth living with HIV.
