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
Background: Nonadherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains a critical barrier to achieving optimal treatment outcomes among people living with HIV (PLHIV). Understanding multidimensional factors influencing adherence is essential for targeted interventions. Aim and Objective: This study aimed to assess determinants of nonadherence to ART among PLHIV attending a tertiary care hospital in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,067 PLHIV aged ≥18 years receiving ART for ≥6 months at a tertiary care hospital in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. Adherence was assessed using the pill count method, with <95% defined as nonadherence. Data on sociodemographic, patient-related, condition-related, therapy-related, and health system-related factors were collected through structured interviews and medical records review. Chi-square tests and odds ratios were calculated to identify significant associations. Results: Nonadherence prevalence was 17.5%. Significant predictors included dissatisfaction with family support (aOR = 38.61), NGO linkage (aOR = 3.82), non-heterosexual transmission routes (aOR = 3.09), current CD4 count <200 cells/mm Conclusion: This study found a 17.5% nonadherence rate among PLHIV on ART in Jabalpur. Younger age, non-heterosexual transmission, poor family support, and low CD4 counts were key predictors. Strengthening social support, addressing stigma, and focusing on vulnerable groups may help improve ART adherence and contribute to progress toward the 95-95-95 targets.
