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

HIV-related stigma remains a significant barrier to antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among people with HIV (PWH). Internalized stigma has been consistently linked to poorer ART adherence. However, the role of disclosure concerns, worries or fears about revealing one's HIV status, remains unclear. This study examines whether disclosure concerns moderate the relationship between internalized stigma and ART adherence among PWH in the Dominican Republic. Data were drawn from 471 PWH recruited from two HIV clinics as part of a cluster-randomized pilot trial. Using moderation analyses, we found that internalized stigma was significantly associated with lower ART adherence (B = -2.30,
