Determinants associated with non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and viral load suppression in PLHIV in Meta, Colombia.

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
backgroundAlthough antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage has increased, significant gaps in adherence and viral suppression persist, particularly in vulnerable settings such as Meta (Colombia), where armed conflict and barriers to healthcare access exacerbate the epidemic. This study examined sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with ART adherence and viral suppression in this population.
methodsAn analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with 155 people living with HIV. The Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire was applied, and clinical data were extracted from medical records. Associations were analyzed using bivariate and multivariable logistic regression.
resultsAmong participants, 73 (47.1%) were non-adherent to ART and 31 (20%) did not achieve viral suppression. Both non-adherence and viral non-suppression were associated with demographic, behavioral, clinical, and ART-related aspects. In the multivariable analysis, ART side effects [odds ratios (OR) = 0.360; P = .015] and PAS use (OR = 11.375; P = .032) were predictors of non-adherence. Likewise, participation in sex work (OR = 4.334; P = .029) and lack of dietary modifications (OR = 3.176; P = .046) predicted viral non-suppression.
conclusionsTargeted interventions addressing both clinical and psychosocial determinants are essential to improve adherence, achieve sustained viral suppression, and reduce HIV transmission in highly vulnerable contexts.
