Health-related quality of life of people living with HIV in Beni-Mellal City, Morocco.
Article in International health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundNowadays, the objective for people living with HIV (PLHIV) is living well and long with the infection rather than surviving it. This study assesses health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of PLHIV in Beni-Mellal City, Morocco, and the factors influencing HRQoL.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 160 PLHIV attending the regional hospital of Beni-Mellal, Morocco. HRQoL was assessed using the EQ-5D Questionnaire (EuroQol-5D). A non-probabilistic χ2 test was used to determine factors associated with HRQoL of PLHIV. A multivariate binomial logistic regression model was applied to determine potential factors influencing HRQoL.
resultsThe rate of PLHIV with good HRQoL (≥0.59 EuroQol-5D score) was 64.4%. The factors associated with good HRQoL were male gender (p=0.026) (OR: 3.69; 95% CI 1.0 to 12.135), side effects (p= 0.006) (OR: 3.655; 95% CI 1.446 to 9.239), high CD4 count (p=0.001) (OR: 0.77; 95% CI 0.061 to 0.190), HIV representation (p=0.01) (OR: 7.923; 95% CI 1.65 to 38.04), good relationship with the healthcare team (p=0.002) (OR 5.771; 95% CI 1.0 to 12.135) and low viral load (p=0.001) (OR: 0.180; 95% CI 0.063 to 0.514).
conclusionsPsychological support and challenging stigma are key in health strategies to improve the HRQoL of PLHIV.
