Exploring barriers and facilitators in implementing the Health4All module for HIV stigma reduction in Malaysia healthcare setting, a Delphi study.
Article in BMC research notes, 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
objectiveStigma and discrimination in healthcare settings remain significant barriers to achieving the global goal of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. Despite progress, interventions to address these issues are limited in Malaysia, where Health4All module being one of the few implemented in healthcare settings to reduce HIV-related stigma. This study explores the barriers and facilitators to its implementation, aiming to enhance its effectiveness in addressing stigma within these environments.
resultsUsing the Delphi method, expert opinions from public health and primary care sectors were collected over three iterative rounds to identify and prioritize barriers and facilitators to implementing the Health4All module. Data were obtained via email, with each round refining the previous findings. The implementation was facilitated by strong leadership, adequate funding, clinic champions, established HIV teams, and active staff engagement. Key barriers included workforce shortages, high turnover, recruitment challenges among key populations, language and content limitations, and online training constraints such as technical issues and limited interaction. Despite these challenges, cost-effective online delivery and targeted incentives improved uptake, emphasizing the critical influence of organizational, individual, and systemic factors on successful implementation. The findings provide a valuable foundation for future efforts to enhance healthcare practices and outcomes.
