Psychosocial vulnerabilities and loss to follow-up in people living with HIV in France.
Article in HIV medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundMigration status is consistently associated with a higher risk of loss to follow-up (LTFU). We investigated how sex, sexual orientation and social vulnerabilities affect the association between migration status and LTFU for hospital care in people living with HIV, using data from the ANRS CO9-COPANA cohort linked to the nationwide French hospital database on HIV (ANRS CO4-FHDH).
methodsThe COPANA prospective cohort enrolled antiretroviral drug-naïve adults newly diagnosed with HIV-1 between 2004 and 2008 in France. LTFU in the hospital setting was defined as no clinical follow-up for ≥24 months before the study end. Fine and Gray models accounting for death as a competing event were used to assess factors associated with LTFU.
resultsThe 616 participants included 333 born in France, 209 born in sub-Saharan Africa and 74 born in other regions. There were 432 male participants, including 281 men who have sex with men (MSM). The cumulative incidence of LTFU was 17% (95% CI: 14-20) at 10 years. Migrant MSM and migrant women had a higher crude risk of LTFU than French-born MSM. After adjustment for several social factors, the risk of LTFU remained higher in migrant MSM. Lack of psychological support and non-disclosure of HIV status to friends were associated with a higher risk of LTFU and had the greatest impact on the difference between crude and adjusted sub-distribution hazard ratios for LTFU in both male and female migrants.
conclusionThe higher risk of LTFU from hospital-based care in migrant MSM and women was attenuated after adjustment for social vulnerabilities, suggesting that these factors contribute to the observed association.
