Predictors of Retention Among HIV Exposed Infants in the Early Infant Diagnosis Program in Lilongwe Rural, Malawi.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: The Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) Program exists to improve the identification of HIV-exposed infants(HEIs) to accelerate linkage to care. The trends of retention in EID have been 88%, 91% and 93% retention at 24 Methods: We conducted a barrier analysis study at four facilities. We recruited 90 HIV-exposed infants 0-24 months of age purposively: 45 doers (retained in care) and 45non-doers (not retained in care). The independent variables were self-efficacy, social norms, access, culture, and religion. The dependent variable was retention. Results: Distance to the health facility ( Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for multifaceted interventions that address health system, behavioral, and social determinants simultaneously to improve retention in EID services.
