Digital health intervention reconnects war-affected people living with HIV to healthcare: Ukraine case study.
Article in Oxford open digital 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
The unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 severely damaged the national health system, disconnecting thousands of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) from essential health services. Digital health interventions (DHIs) offer the potential to reconnect war-affected PLHIV to healthcare and improve health system resilience in case of emergencies. This study aimed to present a comprehensive case study of the implementation and lessons learned from a DHI aimed at reconnecting Ukrainian PLHIV to healthcare in the context of war. A DHI called '#ARTporuch' was implemented in Ukraine in response to the war-related challenges for PLHIV. The case study methodology was used to present the DHI's life cycle, from creation to maintenance. Usage and geographic coverage data were analyzed descriptively. The multi-component DHI, consisting of a website, chatbot, database and information campaign, was implemented. The case study yielded pivotal insights into the DHI lifecycle, including rapid conceptualization, security considerations, agile implementation and continuous adaptation. The online advertising generated >10 million impressions within the information campaign. The website attracted 20 619 visitors, while the chatbot was activated by 2950 users. This case study underscores the potential of DHI as a crisis-response component to reconnect PLHIV to healthcare during wartime. While quantitative evidence of effectiveness is limited due to wartime constraints, the study provides insights into the implementation of DHI in conflict-affected or resource-constrained settings, contributing to the ongoing efforts to achieve universal health coverage and enhance health system resilience planning.
