Network Characteristics of Social Support Sources for People Living with HIV Under Community Follow-Up: A Social Network Analysis in Luzhou, China.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 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
For people living with HIV (PLWH), the configuration of social support networks may shape access to support, yet the structural position of support sources remains poorly understood. We conducted a cross-sectional study among 446 PLWH receiving community follow-up in Luzhou, China, from March to May 2023. A two-mode network (participants × 10 support-source categories) was analyzed in UCINET to describe support-source degree and core-periphery structure. Community Health Service Centers, hospitals, and family members occupied core positions. Overall support scores differed by gender (female vs male: t = -2.66, p = .008), age (≥ 50 vs <50 years: t = -6.79, p < .001), and transmission route (heterosexual vs homosexual: t = 6.25, p < .001). Overall, 52.47% of participants were classified as core actors. The proportion was 46.88% in the combined homosexual-transmission and other-routes group and 44.53% among young/middle-aged men. These findings describe how support sources are positioned within the community follow-up setting and may inform efforts to connect PLWH with fewer core-source ties to available services.
