Intention to disclose maternal HIV status to children among Chinese mothers: association with outcome expectations and moderation by perceived health.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundDisclosure of maternal HIV status to children can be beneficial for both mother and children. Few studies have examined factors and moderators of HIV disclosure among mothers living with HIV.
objectiveThe present study examined the association of outcome expectations and perceived health on intention to disclose maternal HIV status to children, and the moderating role of perceived health among women living with HIV in China.
methodA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 269 women with HIV who had at least one living child aged > 5 years and had not yet disclosed their HIV status to their oldest child in China.
resultsResults from hierarchical regression revealed that after adjusting for significant socio-demographic and medical variables, positive outcome expectations had a positive association and negative outcome expectations had a negative association with intention to disclose HIV. Perceived health had no significant association with intention to disclose HIV. Furthermore, a significant moderation effect of perceived health on positive outcome expectations was found. Further analysis showed that the association of positive outcome expectations and intention to disclose HIV was stronger among women with better perceived health.
conclusionFindings support the importance of outcome expectations, and the need to consider the moderating role of perceived health on HIV disclosure among women living with HIV in China.
