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

Minimising trauma and distress during qualitative in-depth interviews (IDIs) is an essential ethical responsibility in trauma-related research. However, there is a dearth of literature on how researchers navigate real-life ethical and distress-related issues when conducting qualitative research in African contexts. In this paper, we reflect on the lessons learned during an exploratory qualitative study with 23 Female Rising in Education Support and Health (FRESH) research staff involved in an HIV cure trial with analytical treatment interruption (ATI) in South Africa. The study examined staff perspectives on trauma-informed and healing-centred care (TIHC) practices for ATI trial participants. Guided by Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper's (Rolfe, G., D. Freshwater, and M. Jasper. 2001.
