1 · What the graph read from 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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundPeople with HIV commonly endorse chronic pain contributing to poor HIV outcomes. This study is a secondary analysis of a multisite randomized control trial that improved pain with a behavioral pain treatment, Skills to Manage Pain (STOMP), among People with HIV and chronic pain. We examined whether participants randomized to STOMP, as compared with enhanced usual care (EUC), evidenced improved HIV outcomes at the 12-month follow-up visit.

settingParticipants (N = 278) were recruited from Center for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems clinics in Alabama and NC. Eligible participants were randomized to receive either STOMP, combined 1-on-1 skill-building sessions delivered by staff interventionists with group sessions co-led by peer interventionists, or EUC.

methodsWe compared 12-month outcomes of adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), retention in HIV care, virologic suppression. We used logistic regressions using generalized estimating equations to account for correlations within groups and were adjusted for baseline values.

resultsAt baseline, most participants were virologically suppressed (STOMP: 95.2%; EUC: 93.6%) and adherent to ART (≥90% medication taken past month; STOMP: 93.6%, EUC: 89.0%). There were no significant differences between EUC and STOMP for adherence to ART, retention in HIV care, or virologic suppression at the 12-month follow-up (all p 's > 0.16).

conclusionsParticipants receiving STOMP had no differences in 12-month HIV outcomes, despite improvements in chronic pain severity at 3 months. High baseline adherence may have created a ceiling effect on changes.
