Retention in HIV care among Southeast Asian people living with HIV: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Belitung nursing journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Despite the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in reducing HIV-related morbidity and mortality, the retention of HIV care remains suboptimal in Southeast Asia. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the coverage of retention in care and the likelihood factors for retention in HIV care among Southeast Asian people living with HIV, to inform targeted interventions and policy improvements. Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, this study included observational studies reporting factors associated with retention in HIV care among Southeast Asian adults, with searches conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL up to July 15, 2024. Demographic and clinical factors were analyzed using a random-effects model with the generalized linear mixed-effect model (GLLM) to estimate proportion and the DerSimonian-Laird method to estimate odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), assessing heterogeneity using the Results: Among the eleven studies with 46,480 pooled participants analyzed, the coverage of retention in care revealed a pooled proportion of 75.2% (95% CI: 66.7-82.1). Significant clinical factors associated with a higher likelihood of retention included high CD4 count (≥200 cells/mm³) (OR 2.17 (95%CI: 1.19-3.97, Conclusion: Retention in care among Southeast Asian people living with HIV was still below 95%. Clinical factors, particularly high CD4 counts, WHO stage, and the absence of ART, were likelihood factors for retention in HIV care, whereas other clinical and demographic factors studied did not show a significant impact. A universal test and treatment strategy is required to improve retention in care.
