Health-Harming Legal Needs Identified by People with HIV: Data from a Medical-Legal Partnership Study to Improve HIV Care Continuum Outcomes.
Article in The journal of medicine, law & public health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: People with HIV (PWH) often face health-harming legal needs that impede access to and retention in HIV care. The Organizational Partnerships for Healthy Living (OPAHL) intervention addresses these gaps by integrating legal services with health care. Methods: This mixed-methods study was conducted at two health centers in Philadelphia, PA, from October 20, 2022 through 2024. The trial aims to: (1) refine the OPAHL intervention prototype for PWH with detectable viral loads; and (2) test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of OPAHL, which includes (a) comprehensive partner training; (b) screening for legal concerns; and (c) access to legal services. Key legal concerns were identified from 111 participants through quantitative and qualitative analyses of patient-reported responses and attorney case summaries. Results: Major findings from the preliminary dataset reflect distinct categories of legal concerns reported by participants, including Personal/Advanced Care Planning (n = 50), Other Legal Concerns (n = 26), Unsafe Housing/Repairs (n = 23), and Eviction or Threat of Losing Home (n = 15). Conclusions: Findings highlight the diverse and complex legal concerns impacting PWH, particularly in relation to personal and housing-related planning. Understanding and addressing these challenges is crucial for developing targeted interventions to strengthen the HIV care continuum.
