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

People with HIV (PWH) are disproportionately impacted by mental health symptoms. HIV clinics strive to connect PWH with mental health services, but the effectiveness of these efforts is unknown. This project assessed the prevalence of mental health symptoms and barriers to related care among 133 PWH connected to two HIV clinics in New England. Participants were 49.8 years old on average, 38.3% White, 20.3% Hispanic/Latinx, and 67.7% male. Many participants reported moderate-to-severe symptoms of depression (49.6%), anxiety (33.1%), anger (22.6%), and sleep disturbance (34.6%). Compared with participants who were able to access needed mental health care, those who could not (21.8%) were younger, less likely to have HIV viral suppression, had higher rates of mental health symptoms, greater interpersonal and structural barriers to care, and were more likely to report that their HIV care provider offered to help them find mental health care. A logistic regression demonstrated that structural barriers alone were associated with PWH being unable to receive needed mental health care (OR 3.23,
