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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Pregnancies among HIV-positive women can lead to adverse maternal and child outcomes with added negative impact on the health system. This study intended to explore the correlates of unintended pregnancies among HIV-positive women. Methodology: After obtaining written informed consent, in-depth interviews (IDI) were conducted among HIV-positive women of 18-49 years age registered at the four anti-retroviral therapy (ART) centers of erstwhile Visakhapatnam district from 1 Results: A total of 17 HIV-positive pregnant women were interviewed. Most women (13) knew their HIV status before becoming currently pregnant. Among these 13 women, nine were intentional pregnancies. The "patient perspective" included desire for children, challenges related to contraceptive usage, confidence that the use of ART prevents transmission to offspring, and financial reasons. Patient-related factors such as late reporting, availability of contraceptive services, and assurance given to ensure ART compliance were provider-related perspectives on pregnancies among HIV-positive women. Conclusion: HIV positive couples either concordant or discordant, are confident of the effectiveness of the Anti retroviral treatment that they desire to have children like normal couples. Awareness and availability of dual contraception needs to be strengthened at ART centres.
