Depressive Symptoms and HIV Viral Suppression: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in AIDS and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Previous research suggests that depression impacts HIV outcomes, including viral suppression. This meta-analysis quantifies the association between depression and HIV viral suppression. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, and OVID to identify studies published through 2012 to 2022. The software Rayyan was used to evaluate eligibility of studies, and the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines were used for abstracting data. A random effects meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4.1. Of the 1911 articles screened, 16 studies were included covering 80,103 participants. The results showed individuals without depression were more likely to achieve HIV viral suppression or undetectable viral load compared to individuals with depression (OR 1.30; 95%CI 1.15, 1.48; I
