Comparisons of Correlates of Viral Suppression Among Adults Living With HIV/AIDS in Tanzania: Analysis With and Without Including Survey Designs.
Article in AIDS research and treatment, 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
The effects of ignoring survey designs during the analysis of complex survey data may lead to biased estimates. This has been a common practice for most researchers. It is more critical for public health data which involve the clinical decisions that decide the fate of people's lives. This analysis compares the estimates of factors of viral load suppression (VLS) with and without including survey designs using the Tanzania HIV Impact Survey (THIS). This survey reveals factors associated with VLS among Tanzanians living with HIV/AIDS. The correlates of VLS were examined using multivariable logistic regression models in both cases with and without including survey design. The study unveils significant correlates such as age, middle wealth quintile, CD4, adherence, and antiretroviral (ARV) detection status of a patient. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the essence of properly accounting for CSD. Failure to do so may result in biased parameter estimates and incorrect variances; hence, incorrect inferences. Thus, the study's findings on VLS determinants have significant practical implications that allow government agencies and stakeholders to establish targeted and successful HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment initiatives. Consequently, this study suggests a complex design as an approach for obtaining unbiased estimates on the national representative surveys.
