Viral suppression by residency status among men living with HIV in the context of the expanded ART policy in Shanghai, China.

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
Access to China's national free antiretroviral therapy (ART) program was historically restricted to the home province or province of birth ("Hukou"). During the COVID-19 pandemic, Shanghai facilitated access to free ART and supportive services for all Shanghai residents regardless of residency status. Our aim was to study differences in viral suppression according to residency status in Shanghai, China. We conducted a cross-sectional survey with a nine-month prospective follow-up for viral load testing. Viral suppression was defined as a viral load of <40 copies/mL. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Firth logistic regression. We recruited 151 adult men newly diagnosed with HIV from a downtown satellite clinic of the major HIV reference hospital in Shanghai. Among recruited participants, 23.8% were Shanghai Hukou residents, 23.2% were external permanent residents, 16.6% were temporary migrants, and 36.4% had no Shanghai residency status. Almost all participants (98.7%) initiated ART; 72.8% had an undetectable viral load by nine-months following ART initiation. The median time from HIV diagnosis to ART initiation was shorter for Shanghai Hukou residents (9.0 days) compared to other groups (15.0-19.0 days, p = 0.023). Shanghai Hukou residents (aOR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.05, 1.00; p = 0.05), temporary migrants (aOR:0.20; 95% CI: 0.04, 0.92; p = 0.038), and men with no Shanghai residence identification (aOR:0.16; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.61; p = 0.006) were less likely to attain viral suppression when compared with external permanent residents, after adjusting for sociodemographic, sexual behaviour, and clinical covariates. Overall, differences in viral suppression between residency groups persisted despite the new policy of free ART regardless of residency status. These disparities highlight the need to better understand the underlying dynamics of viral suppression with attention to residency status. Future work should focus on developing complementary interventions and expanding supportive services to facilitate rapid viral suppression among all residency groups to achieve optimal population health outcomes.
