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.

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.

Abstract

Background: In addition to structural interventions such as syringe services and naloxone distribution, harm reduction (HR) is also a Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the ways healthcare workers (HCWs) characterize interactions with PWH who use drugs and if these characterizations reflect relational HR or missed opportunities to improve the patient-provider relationship. Design: We used a qualitative descriptive design to characterize HCWs' descriptions of their interactions with PWH who use drugs. Methods: We interviewed providers ( Results: We discovered that HCWs characterize positive patient-provider interactions that both reflect HR principles and may not align with the principles of HR. Examples include when patients appear comfortable with and trusting of their provider, when patients feel heard by their provider, and when providers feel they are responsive to patient needs. However, other HCWs described positive interactions as counter to relational HR. Conclusion: HCW descriptions of positive interactions in line with relational HR in their conceptualization of patient-provider interactions with PWH who use drugs have the potential to guide efforts in increasing the acceptability of HR in HIV care. Given evidence showing HR improves outcomes for those who use substances, findings suggest missed opportunities to incorporate relational HR into the patient-provider relationship in HIV primary care settings. Registration: NCT05404750.
