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

Objectives: This study aimed to identify and analyze the primary barriers to HIV care and treatment adherence in Guyana and the Caribbean. Methods: A cross-sectional mixed-methods design was employed, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with 200 HIV-positive individuals attending clinics in Guyana and the Caribbean. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Ethical approval was obtained. Results: Key findings revealed that stigma (60%), financial constraints (55%), and transportation issues (45%) were the most reported barriers. Stigma was particularly prevalent among unemployed participants ( Conclusions: The study highlights the multifaceted barriers to HIV care in Guyana and the Caribbean, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted interventions to reduce stigma, improve financial accessibility, and enhance follow-up services.
