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

Significant progress has been made in HIV prevention and treatment for adolescents and young adults (AYA), but integrating mental healthcare remains essential to address risks and improve treatment engagement. Single-session interventions (SSIs) offer a cost-effective, scalable way to improve access to HIV and mental health services. While evidence shows SSIs reduce sexual risk behaviors and enhance mental health, their combined impact on both areas has not yet been reviewed. This scoping review evaluates SSIs designed for AYA that target HIV treatment and prevention outcomes, while assessing whether these SSIs had any secondary effects on co-occurring mental health outcomes. A systematic search of databases through August 2024 identified 21 SSIs that included HIV-related outcomes, such as intentions to test, improvements in HIV knowledge, attitudes toward HIV, PrEP uptake, and treatment engagement, and any reported mental health outcomes. Of the 21 studies analyzed, 19 focused on HIV prevention, showing significant improvements in knowledge, reduced stigma, and better self-assessment of HIV risk. The remaining two studies examined treatment-related outcomes, with some interventions like video-based programs and motivational interviews improving treatment initiation and attitudes toward adherence among AYA. Notably, only two of the 21 studies explicitly integrated mental health-related outcomes, despite nearly all interventions targeting change mechanisms common to mental health-focused interventions. Findings from this review highlight the promise of SSIs for improving HIV-related outcomes among AYA. However, to maximize their impact, future research should incorporate mental health-related outcomes into these interventions.
