Executive Function and Adherence in Children and Adolescents Living With HIV: Evidence From the HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders in Zambia (HANDZ) Study.
Article in Journal of child neurology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
IntroductionExecutive function may be impaired in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and poor executive function may affect medication adherence. However, there is little data on executive function in children and adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV in sub-Saharan Africa.MethodsA total of 208 children/adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV and 208 HIV-exposed uninfected controls were recruited in Zambia for this prospective cohort study. Executive function was measured using performance-based, self-report, and parental report measures. Adherence over 1 year of follow-up was assessed through questionnaires and viral load measurement.ResultsParticipants with HIV performed significantly worse on all 3 measures of executive function. Lower parental rating of executive function was associated with poorer antiretroviral therapy adherence (odds ratio 1.5, 95% confidence interval 1.02-2.2,
