Implementation of group interpersonal therapy to treat depression in people living with HIV: A first evaluation of IPT dissemination in Senegal.

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
Group interpersonal therapy (IPT) was introduced to Senegal to treat depression in people living with HIV (PLWH), using a task-shifting approach. Following successful implementation at a tertiary-level hospital in Dakar, we evaluate IPT's acceptability, feasibility and benefits in primary and secondary-level suburban health facilities. We assess the impact of IPT adaptations and organizational changes and identify sustainability requirements. PLWH with depression received group IPT following the World Health Organization protocol. Acceptability, feasibility and implementation aspects were assessed quantitatively and qualitatively following specific conceptual frameworks. Depressive symptoms severity (PHQ-9) and functioning (WHODAS) were measured pre-, post-treatment and at 3-month follow-up. General linear mixed models were used to describe changes in outcomes over time. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Of 84 participants (median age: 45, female>50%), 81 completed group IPT. Enrolment refusal and dropout rates were 7% and 4%. Ninety-seven percent attended at least seven sessions out of eight. Depressive symptoms and functioning significantly improved by therapy's end (
