Intervention measures for stigma in HIV patients: a scoping review of randomized controlled trials.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. 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
Background: Individuals infected with HIV experience significant stigma, and since this stigma can severely impact their quality of life, it is essential to implement interventions aimed at reducing the stigma faced by this population. Objective: To summarize and analyze the core components and effectiveness of interventions targeting stigma among people living with HIV. Methods A scoping review methodology was employed to search the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus databases from their inception dates up to March 14, 2025. The included studies were categorized and analyzed. Results: A total of 39 articles were included in this review. Interventions addressing HIV-related stigma were conducted among various populations including pregnant women, older adults, adolescents, and sexual minority groups. Intervention contents included cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, information-motivation-behavioral skills intervention, among others. There was significant variation in the frequency and duration of stigma interventions. Outcome measures used across studies included internalized stigma, externalized HIV Stigma, enacted stigma. Conclusion: The findings indicate that most interventions demonstrate varying degrees of effectiveness in reducing HIV-related stigma, with CBT-based approaches potentially being more effective, although standardization and longer follow-up periods are required. However, the differences in effectiveness across different populations, intervention content, implementation forms, and follow-up durations suggest that current stigma reduction strategies for AIDS still have room for optimization.
