HIV/AIDS epidemiological profile and intervention evaluation of rural elderly in China.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionHIV infection among older adults in rural China has risen significantly in recent years, yet epidemiological characteristics and intervention effectiveness remain understudied.
methodsWe described the characteristics of 179 HIV/AIDS patients aged ≥ 50 years in rural Nantong, China, then conducted a community-based 1:1 case-control study of 179 HIV/AIDS patients aged ≥ 50 years and developed a predictive nomogram. Mediation analysis was applied to explore the role of HIV knowledge, and the effectiveness of a comprehensive community intervention was assessed among 1206 community individuals.
resultsThere were 179 elderly HIV/AIDS participants recruited, 55.9% of them were homosexual transmission, and 84.4% were identified through passive pathways. The case-control showed that the protective factors associated with HIV infection included higher Perceived Social Support Score (PSSS) (OR = 0.023) and knowledge awareness (OR = 0.055), while the risk factors included being unemployed (OR = 4.852), having extramarital sex (OR = 30.264), and the tolerant attitude to extramarital sex (OR = 7.124). The C-index is 0.9 and the Dxy is 0.913 with Spiegelhalter Z-test, indicating that the nomogram has good predictive accuracy. Mediation analysis indicated that knowledge mediated the impact of PSSS, extramarital sex, and attitude towards extramarital sex on HIV infection, accounting for 30.8%, 26.6% and 14.1%of the effects, respectively. Six months after implementation of the comprehensive intervention, there was a significant increase in HIV knowledge awareness (from 41.0% to 84.4%) and a decrease in extramarital sex(from 2.4% to 0.8%).
conclusionAppropriate interventions for the rural elderly with low education can also effectively reduce AIDS related risky behaviors. PSSS can be considered as a potential screening factor to predict the risk of HIV infection.
