Military personnel's satisfaction with antiretroviral services in Namibia: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of public health in Africa, 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
Background: Patient satisfaction is an indicator of healthcare quality and may affect treatment adherence. It is particularly relevant for military personnel living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) because of their increased risks to deployment. However, this phenomenon remains understudied. Aim: To assess satisfaction among military personnel at an antiretroviral clinic in Namibia. Setting: Military's antiretroviral clinic in Namibia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional online survey was conducted using a validated third-generation short version of the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18). Data were collected between June 2022 and August 2022 from 166 participants through convenience sampling. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and a Results: One hundred and sixty-six participants participated in this study. Significant factors influencing satisfaction included sex, age, marital status and place of residence. Individuals aged 31-44 years were 40 times more likely to be satisfied (AOR: 40.64; 95% CI: 14.16-116.60), while females (AOR: 0.25; 95% CI: 0.16-0.40), divorced individuals (AOR: 0.05; 95% CI: 0.02-0.12) and those residing in urban areas (AOR: 0.33; 95% CI: 0.17-0.62) were less likely to report satisfaction. Conclusion: The study found a high overall level of patient satisfaction. Based on the results, the study recommends using the Namibia case study to develop and tailor initiatives that improve patient satisfaction with antiretroviral therapy (ART) services among military personnel in other settings. Contribution: To add to the literature on patient satisfaction with antiretroviral therapy services among military individuals in Namibia.
