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

purpose of reviewThis review aims to present the current status of the HIV epidemic in Türkiye, to identify the barriers to achieving the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 95-95-95 targets, and to propose strategies to overcome these challenges. RECENT

findingsIn Türkiye, HIV-related diagnostic and treatment services are integrated into the general health insurance system, and most contemporary antiretroviral therapy (ART) are available.Treatment initiation and virological suppression rates that approach international targets. However, challenges remain in early diagnosis and prevention, particularly among key populations. Recent epidemiological data also indicate a marked increase in HIV diagnosesamong women and young people while stigma, discrimination, limited access to testing, and low awareness among both the public and healthcare professionals continue to hinder progress. Controlling the HIV epidemic in Türkiye requires strengthening early diagnosis, ensuring equitable access to ART, expanding prevention strategies such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and implementing multisectoral approaches to reduce stigma and discrimination. Coordinated actions among policymakers, healthcare providers, and community stakeholders will be critical for achieving national and global HIV targets.
