Beyond HAART: unveiling the reality of antiretroviral therapy knowledge among pregnant women living with HIV in Kaduna State, Nigeria.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
To ensure the prevention of mother-to-child-transmission of HIV (MTCT), 81% of pregnant women received antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 2021 worldwide. Despite the global efforts to prevent MTCT of HIV, significant knowledge gaps persist among these women including a lack of basic knowledge of HIV and ART. This study aimed to determine the levels of HIV knowledge, knowledge of ART, and attitude toward ART in HIV-positive pregnant women in Kaduna State. It was a hospital-based, cross-sectional study among 318 HIV-positive pregnant women attending antenatal care in the nine selected hospitals using a three-stage sampling technique. Data was collected using the Open Data Kit. Up to 54.4% had a fair knowledge of ART while 75.4% of the respondents had good knowledge of HIV, and up to 98.6% had a positive attitude towards ART. Knowledge of ART and attitude to ART are positively influenced by receiving multiple counselling (p = 0.031, aOR = 6), being on ART for ≥ 2 years (p = 0.021, aOR = 6); and not taking unprescribed medications (p = 0.047, aOR = 17) respectively. Sustained, focused counselling and patient education are necessary to establish and optimise the required adherence in this group. Also, implement clear task-sharing strategies for health personnel to provide tailored services.
