The Effects of Extreme Climate Events on Healthcare Access, Mental Health, and Economic Stability Among PLHIV in Brazil.
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
Climate change and HIV are intersecting crises, yet their combined impact on Latin America's HIV care continuum remains understudied. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design with data from the 2024 Brazilian HIV Stigma Index, we examined the consequences of extreme climate events-primarily the May 2024 floods in Porto Alegre-on healthcare access, mental health, and socioeconomic stability among 156 people living with HIV. These events were associated with substantial care disruptions, with many participants reporting rescheduled or canceled medical appointments and laboratory monitoring. Furthermore, 60.5% reported negative mental health impacts and 37.3% suffered household income reductions. Institutional support reached a minority, leaving many reliant on civil society for survival needs. These findings highlight an urgent need for climate-resilient HIV policies integrating mental health care and social protection to sustain treatment adherence during public calamities.
