Prevalence and Factors Influencing Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Nonadherence in Men During Different Stages of the Life Course: A Case Study in Greater Gaborone, Botswana.

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: Adult men living with HIV are less likely than women to adhere to antiretroviral therapy (ART). This highlights the need to understand factors driving nonadherence and how adherence behaviors and barriers change with age. However, existing HIV surveillance data often collapse ages into broad groups, limiting life-course analysis. This study addresses this gap by examining the time from HIV diagnosis to ART initiation and subsequent adherence barriers among men, using women as a comparison group, in Greater Gaborone, Botswana. To explore these dynamics, we employed a cross-sectional survey design tailored to capture age-specific patterns of ART initiation and adherence. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a stratified random sample of 239 men and 428 women attending 21 HIV treatment clinics. Semistructured questionnaires captured life-course characteristics, including the stage of HIV disease at ART initiation and individual-level factors affecting adherence. Results: The results showed that men ( Conclusion: Despite free ART and medical care in Botswana, men face barriers related to comorbidities, highlighting the need for targeted gender-specific interventions to improve ART adherence.
