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: Globally, South Africa has the highest number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) and the largest HIV treatment programme. Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a key factor in achieving viral load suppression and positive health outcomes and is, therefore, a crucial component in managing the HIV epidemic. Methods: The survey data were collected using a two-stage stratified cluster random sampling design. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the sample characteristics including the prevalence of nonadherence to ART. Pearson chi-square was used to test for differences in categorical variables. Bivariate modified Poisson regression analysis was used to investigate factors associated with nonadherence to ART, and statistically significant variables were included in a multivariate modified Poisson regression model. Results: Of 3737 participants who self-reported ever taking ART, 11.6% were classified as nonadherent (no antiretroviral [ARV] drugs detected in the dry blood spot). In the final model, participants with secondary or Grade 12 education had significantly higher prevalence of nonadherence than those with no or primary education (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] = 1.82; 95% CI: 1.12-2.95; Conclusion: The study highlights higher risk of nonadherence to ART among youth and those who reside in urban areas which could be improved through youth-friendly interventions and ongoing tailored interventions for PLHIV in urban areas.
