Understanding Types of Stigma Experienced in Black Women Living With HIV in Baltimore, Maryland: A Mixed Methods Study.
Article in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo understand how Black or African American women living with HIV (WLH) experience different types of stigma in their daily lives.
designSecondary analysis of quantitative and qualitative data from a recent clinical trial in Baltimore, Maryland.
methodsQuantitative data were collected in the baseline survey, and qualitative data were gathered during 6-month follow-up focus group and individual interviews. First, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis with principal axis factoring to identify the underlying factor structure of the HIV Stigma Scale. Next, we analysed the interviews with thematic analysis to understand women's experience with different stigma types.
resultsExploratory factor analysis revealed the HIV Stigma Scale was a one-factor scale that measured internalised stigma. However, qualitative interviews revealed that four different types of stigma were present in the everyday lives of WLH. These included the following: vicarious, enacted, internalised and perceived stigma. A current HIV stigma scale may not fully capture the stigma experiences salient to Black WLH. There is a need for internally valid quantitative measures that can adequately capture HIV stigma as experienced by Black WLH. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Black WLH agreed to participate in the study, completed the HIV stigma scale and shared their experiences with us.
