Assessment of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission Program in Cameroon: A Three-Year Study Using Statistical Models.
Article in Journal of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BackgroundIn Cameroon, Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) program has been implemented for over two decades, yet persistent challenges hinder their effectiveness. This study evaluates the effectiveness of PMTCT program between 2021 and 2023 throughout the national territory.MethodsThis was a retrospective analysis of data from Cameroon's PMTCT program with data sourced from the national health records and analyzed using advance statistic technics.ResultsThe findings indicate a slight upward trend in transmission prevalence from 0.98% in 2021 to 1.06% in 2023. Maternal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status during pregnancy emerged as a major driver of transmission, highlighting gaps in repeated HIV testing. We note a national wide decline of first antenatal attendances and HIV testing coverage. Male partner involvement remained low and retention in care varied overtime inline to specific indicators.ConclusionWhile Cameroon's PMTCT program has made progress, challenges persist with mother-to-child transmission-related program indicators.
