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

Community-based organisations (CBOs) play a critical role in implementing HIV programmes, many of which have historically relied on United States (U.S.) donor funding. Recent U.S. funding cuts have disrupted community-based HIV programmes, underscoring the need to understand implementers' experiences to support sustainable service delivery. This study explored how funding instability affected community-based HIV programmes in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. A qualitative, exploratory design was employed using interviews and focus group discussions with purposively selected youth frontline workers and programme managers (
