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

The objective of this paper is to describe the long-term evolution of HIV-related public stigma and the misconceptions around HIV transmission in Spain. A repeated cross-sectional study was conducted using data from three surveys with random sampling carried out in 2008, 2012, and 2021 with a total of 4,836 participants aged ≥ 16 residing in Spain. The temporal variation of public stigma and discrimination indicators between 2008 and 2021 and 2012-2021 was analyzed adjusting for possible sociodemographic differences among the samples calculating adjusted differences using multivariable Poisson regressions with robust variance and multivariable linear regressions. Most stigma indicators and misconceptions about HIV transmission decreased during the analyzed period. However, the degree of proximity of the participants with people with HIV and their willingness to establish relationships with them did not improve. HIV-related stigma remains a significant issue in Spain although most of the public stigma and discrimination indicators improved between 2008 and 2021.
