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

objectivePatient-reported outcomes (PROs) provide important information to improve healthcare and facilitate research but can be difficult to implement in busy care settings.

designWe integrated PRO collection into HIV care (2008-2024) with results summarized for providers to improve clinical care.

methodsPWH presenting for HIV care at nine clinics across the United States in the CFAR Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) were asked to complete a touch-screen-based PRO assessment at routine clinic visits using a web-based application.

results21 725 PWH completed the CNICS clinical PRO assessment 132 240 times (mean 6.1 assessments per PWH). Mean age at initial assessment was 43.8  years, 24.9% screened in for depression, 35.5% reported heavy episodic (binge) drinking, 38.9% smoking, 10.9% methamphetamine use, 11.7% recent intimate partner violence, and 8.4% reported unstable housing in the prior 30 days. DISCUSSION: We implemented a PRO assessment into HIV care at nine geographically dispersed clinics. PRO responses in domains known to drive adverse outcomes such as substance use were identified as were situational concerns such as unstable housing. This study demonstrated that use of a well designed PRO platform can address many of the barriers of paper and interview-based collection and be sustainable over time even as clinic flow and content priorities evolve. It demonstrated that PROs done for clinical care are useful to address clinically relevant research questions and institutional needs. Finally, this study demonstrated the feasibility of wide-spread implementation of a clinical PRO assessment into busy HIV clinical care settings with >130 000 assessments completed to date.
