Vulnerability and non-adherence to treatment in cisgender women living with HIV/AIDS: a scoping review (2000-2024).
Synthesis in Archives of public health = Archives belges de sante publique, 2026. 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
backgroundCisgender women are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS due to structural gender inequalities and intersecting social determinants, which generate vulnerability contexts that act as barriers to treatment adherence.
methodsA scoping review to map studies examining vulnerability contexts influencing antiretroviral treatment non-adherence and discontinuation among cisgender women living with HIV/AIDS. Searches were performed in PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science, and gray literature. A total of 78 studies published between 2000 and 2024 were included.
resultsFindings were organized across three vulnerability dimensions individual, social, and programmatic. Stigma emerged as a transversal element permeating all levels. Barriers included mental health conditions, substance use, pregnancy and postpartum dynamics, socioeconomic inequalities, gender-based violence, and structural barriers in health systems. A conceptual model, grounded in the socio-ecological perspective and the vulnerability framework, is proposed to illustrate how these factors interact to affect adherence.
conclusionVulnerability contexts significantly shape women’s ability to maintain antiretroviral therapy. Addressing these challenges requires policies and interventions that integrate biomedical, social, and structural perspectives, while recognizing women’s autonomy and promoting equity in HIV care.
