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

objectivesTo describe levels of barriers to mental health and substance use services and to examine the associations, if any, between these barriers and substance use and mental health stigma among Hispanic/Latine adults receiving services for HIV prevention or HIV treatment.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey as part of a mixed-method, community-based statewide study among Hispanic/Latine individuals served by HIV service delivery organizations in Texas, United States, between September 2022 and May 2023 (n = 300). Participants completed a computer-based survey at collaborating organizations. Analyses included descriptive statistics and linear regression modeling.

resultsDemographic and background characteristics were significantly associated with differences in reported barriers to mental health and substance use services. Mental health-related stigma was significantly associated with barriers to mental health services.

conclusionsStrategies to reduce barriers, tailored to specific demographic subgroups, and interventions to address mental health-related stigma should be prioritized by HIV service delivery organizations serving Hispanic/Latine communities.
