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

Objective: Youth with HIV experience persistent disparities across the HIV care continuum, including low rates of engagement in care and viral suppression. In a recent national survey, youth and young adults, defined by the CDC as ages 13-34, accounted for approximately 20-40% of new HIV diagnoses in the United States. We describe the Intervention for Virological Suppression in Youth with HIV (iVY), a youth-friendly, tailored approach that integrates mental health and substance use support with HIV treatment engagement. Trial Design: This paper describes the development of the intervention used in iVY, which is currently being evaluated in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) using an adaptive treatment strategy. HIV virological suppression is measured via dried blood spot at 16 weeks. Methods: The intervention is delivered fully remotely across California and Florida. YWH aged 18-29 who are not durably virally suppressed are enrolled and randomized to the intervention or usual care. The RCT will enroll and randomize 200 participants to the intervention ( Results: N/A. Conclusion: This paper provides a detailed description of a telehealth-based behavioral intervention tailored to the needs of youth with HIV. The intervention offers a scalable model for integrating behavioral health and HIV care to address barriers to treatment engagement in this priority population.
