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

Despite comprising nearly one in 10 people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Brazil, older adults aged 60 years and above remain profoundly underrepresented in psychosocial research. This multicenter study is the first age-restricted (≥ 60 years) subgroup analysis of the Brazilian PLHIV Stigma Index 2.0. The present secondary analysis yielded a sample of 138 older adults (M age = 64.3 years, SD = 4.1; 52.9% male; 57.2% Black or Brown). Path analysis with 5000-resample bootstrapping and full-information maximum likelihood estimation confirmed a statistically significant indirect effect of general stigma on depression mediated by internalized stigma (indirect effect = 0.087, 95% CI [0.037, 0.173],
