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

Chronic pain is common among people living with HIV (PLWH) who engage in heavy drinking and both pain and heavy drinking influence quality of life, functioning, and HIV-outcomes. The purpose of this study was to: (1) test the acceptability and feasibility of a cognitive behavioral telehealth intervention (INTV) to reduce pain and heavy drinking among PLWH, (2) evaluate methods to implement a randomized controlled efficacy trial, and (3) provide preliminary information about its potential value. Forty-eight PLWH with chronic pain who engaged in heavy drinking were recruited from HIV-health clinics and social media. Following baseline assessment, participants were randomized to INTV or treatment-as-usual control (CTL). Participants completed outcome assessments at 3- and 6-months post-baseline. Results indicated that participants experienced high levels of satisfaction and showed strong intervention engagement. Over 85% of follow-up visits were completed across the two time-points. Condition comparisons showed small to moderate effects of the intervention on pain severity at 3-months (f
