Quality of care, support and treatment services in Jharkhand's Antiretroviral Therapy Center (ARTC): A mixed methods operational research.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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: India has demonstrated an overall reduction of 57% in estimated annual new HIV infections. Assessing the quality of the ART Centers (ARTC) services would enable us to focus on the gaps and take necessary measures to provide high-quality ART services. Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was adopted. A cross-sectional survey among PLHIVs and secondary data review with in-depth interview (IDI) among program staff and focus group discussion (FGD) among patients registered at the ARTC were conducted. One of each of the low, medium, and high case load centers was randomly selected. The Chi-square test compared major service indicators between ARTC. Results: Of the 150 patients interviewed from all three centers, 79 (52.7%) were males, and 66 (44%) were illiterate. Treatment adherence was high for 124 (82.7%) of the patients' records checked. The IDIs resulted in three themes: infrastructure, manpower, and services. FGD yielded 15 statements on strengths. They were an adequate drug supply, no discrimination against PLHIVs attending the Center by the staff, and home care services. Conclusion: The quality of care provided to the patients registered was almost satisfactory. However, infrastructure deficiencies, incomplete records, and staff vacancies must be improved.
