Predicting antiretroviral medication adherence among substance-using people with HIV: test and extension of the information-motivation-behavioral skills model.
Article in Journal of behavioral medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is effective in reducing HIV transmission and mortality, yet daily adherence remains a challenge for many people with HIV (PWH). Suboptimal adherence can lead to virological failure and increased mortality, particularly among those with substance use disorders, such as cocaine use disorder (CUD). The Information-Motivation-Behavioral (IMB) skills model offers a framework to understand and enhance ART adherence by addressing individual and social barriers. In this study, we tested the IMB skills model among 80 cocaine-using PWH currently on ART, and found that behavioral skills significantly predicted adherence. In the extension of the IMB skills model, the addition of practical barriers altered the relationship by showing that motivational barriers such as treatment fatigue and practical barriers significantly affected ART adherence. The findings suggest that for PWH with substance use disorders, addressing practical barriers and motivational factors may be crucial for improving ART adherence, in addition to building behavioral skills.
