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

abstractTimely and accurate return of viral load (VL) results to adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) is essential for early detection of adherence challenges and treatment failure. Our cross-sectional study evaluated VL data of ALHIV, ages 15-19 years, enrolled in six care facilities in Kiambu and Nakuru Counties in Kenya. We summarized the proportion of results available in both the electronic medical record (EMR) and the national database. Modified Poisson regression models assessed the relationship between ALHIV characteristics and knowledge of VL results. Of 20% ( n = 207) of the charts that were randomly selected, 86% ( n = 179) matched the national database source; however, 7% ( n = 14) of VL results were missing from the clinic-EMR, and 8% ( n = 17) were incongruent between the national database and EMR. Only half (52%) of the surveyed ALHIV ( n = 132) reported receiving their last VL result, with older ALHIV more likely to receive VL results than younger ( Prevalence ratio : 1.46, p = .02). Missing or incorrect data records suggest gaps need to be addressed in addition to increasing the proportion of ALHIV who receive accurate VL results to optimize care and management.
