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
To explore the association between household structures and the quality of life (QOL) in people living with HIV (PLWH) in rural and urban regions in China. A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed in this multicenter study. 711 people living with HIV (PLWH) from nine provinces or municipalities with different incidence levels in China were investigated through questionnaires. The QOL level, sociodemographic, and clinical characteristics were collected by the WHOQOL-HIV BREF and the sample characteristics checklist. Multivariable linear regression was used to explore the association. 711 PLWH completed the survey. PLWH living only with oneself compared with other groups reported the highest QOL (89.14 ± 18.42 versus 85.45 ± 15.81 versus 82.62 ± 14.22 versus 82.53 ± 14.20), and similar results were presented in the sub-domains analysis. Rural residents exhibited a stronger inverse association between household size and QOL (β = – 3.89, 95% CI: – 6.03 to – 1.75; P = 0.0004) compared to urban counterparts (β = – 1.55, 95% CI: – 2.97 to – 0.14; P = 0.032). This study demonstrates that the number of inhabitants has a negative association with QOL among PLWH in China and further reveals significant urban-rural disparities in how household environments influence the QOL among PLWH. This finding will encourage healthcare providers, social workers, case managers, and other relevant professionals to focus on assessing household size and other relevant factors when providing care to PLWH.
