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

purpose of reviewAsset mapping aims to engage members of a community to explore and map assets that are solutions to social issues such as homelessness or access to health care. The purpose of this scoping review was to determine the scope of asset mapping as an approach to HIV care cascade outcomes, synthesize available evidence on this method's application in research, and identify opportunities for future interventions and research based in this methodology. This scoping review follows the guidelines outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. Databases used were: PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Scopus. Only articles featuring studies targeting the HIV care cascade were included. Our focus was studies that explored, described, or mapped tangible or intangible assets, employed a strengths-based approach, and addressed capacity to develop solutions. Several researchers independently reviewed all abstracts and full text articles. RECENT

findingsA total of 305 articles were found. After removal of duplicates, 207 articles remained. From the title and abstract review, 189 articles (91%) were excluded, leaving 18 studies to be assessed for inclusion. Of these, 10 studies were included. Five studies intentionally conducted asset mapping and 5 were not intentional but results revealed assets. Tangible assets included churches, transportation routes, libraries, and parks. Intangible assets included strengthening health routines, self-reflection, social relationships, and community engagement. Future research should shift to methods that identify strengths and assets of communities affected by HIV and AIDS.
