Advancing Sustainable HIV Services Through Integration in Primary Healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Perspective on Practical Recommendations.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sub-Saharan Africa continues to bear a disproportionate burden of the global HIV epidemic. Integrating HIV services into primary healthcare is a crucial strategy to accelerate progress towards ending the epidemic. However, several challenges hinder effective integration, including underfunding, human resource shortages, infrastructure limitations, weak health systems, and sociocultural factors. With this perspective, we discuss strategies to address these challenges. A comprehensive, multi-faceted approach is necessary to overcome these barriers. Investing in human resources, improving infrastructure, and strengthening health information systems are essential for strengthening the health system. Implementing patient-centered care, integrated service delivery models, and community engagement can optimize service delivery. Utilizing digital health tools, such as mobile health applications and electronic health records, can enhance service delivery and data management. Mobilizing for an increase in domestic resources, aligning donor funding, and using cost-effective approaches are crucial for effective financing. Finally, robust monitoring and evaluation systems are necessary to track progress, identify challenges, and inform decision-making. With these strategies, among many others, sub-Saharan African countries can significantly improve the integration of HIV services into primary healthcare, leading to better health outcomes for people living with HIV and more sustainable HIV programs.
