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

Objective: To evaluate the retention rates of adolescents and young adults (aged 10-25 years) living with HIV during the transition to adult HIV care. Methods: The study involved 15 cohort studies conducted since 2015, focusing on adolescents and young adults aged 10-25 years living with HIV who transitioned to adult care. The primary outcome measured was the retention rate in care after transition. Data screening and extraction were performed using Covidence software, and the quality of included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool. Results: The pooled 1-year retention rate was 81% (95% CI: 78%, 91%), while the 2-year retention rate was 69% (95% CI: 53%, 83%). Significant heterogeneity was observed between studies (I Conclusion: The findings underscore the challenges and variability in retention rates for adolescents transitioning to adult HIV care. There is a critical need for targeted interventions and improved follow-up strategies to enhance retention and meet global HIV care targets.
