Poverty and protection: the relationship between multidimensional poverty, social protection interventions, and HIV viral load.

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
objectivesSocial protection can mitigate poverty's effects on HIV, but program implementation may influence impact. We explored relationships between multidimensional poverty, social protection programming, and HIV viral load among an adult population with HIV (PWH) in Zimbabwe.
designA sequential explanatory mixed methods study.
methodsWe analyzed retrospective cross-sectional data from client satisfaction surveys collected between January and July 2023 among adult PWH receiving care in 15 districts of Zimbabwe. We employed descriptive analyses, generalized estimated equations, and moderation analyses to evaluate relationships between multidimensional poverty, social protection, and viral load nonsuppression. Between August and September 2023, we conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews (IDIs) with adults regarding access to tuberculosis care and social protection interventions. We applied the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment framework for qualitative analysis and integrated results at the interpretation phase.
resultsAmong 13 722 PWH [65.4% women, median age 44 years (interquartile range: 36-52)], 44.4% were multidimensionally poor. Only 18% had ever received social protection. Poverty was associated with viral load nonsuppression [adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) = 1.55; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13-2.13], as was social protection receipt [aPR = 1.67; 95% CI: 1.07-2.62)]. IDIs showed that PWH experienced significant impoverishment, had little information about and access to social protection, and reported limited quantities and durations of receipt.
conclusionWe observed a high burden of poverty and tenuous access to social protection. Multidimensional poverty was associated with virologic nonsuppression, as was social protection receipt, which may signal significant vulnerability in our population and inadequacy of social protection coverage and responsiveness.
