Improving Cognitive and Psychological Functioning in Older Latinos With HIV: Results From a Pilot Health Promotion Intervention.
Article in The Gerontologist, 2025. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesOlder Latino persons with HIV (OLPWH) experience early-onset cognitive decline due to specific factors associated with accelerated aging as well as more established risk factors like depression, anxiety, and sedentary behavior. Yet, few behavioral interventions to improve OLPWH's psychological and cognitive health have been assessed. Thus, this pilot study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary intervention effects of the Happy Older Latinos are Active (HOLA) physical activity health promotion intervention on cognition and mental health among this underserved population. RESEARCH DESIGN/
methodsThirty OLPWH (Age: M = 61.7 years, SD = 6.00 years 40% female, 46.7% less than high-school education) enrolled in a pilot single-arm selective prevention intervention trial evaluating changes in psychological and neurocognitive outcomes at two timepoints (baseline and postintervention). Participants were asked at the end of the study to offer qualitative feedback on their acceptance of and interest in the intervention. Results: Within 7-months, enrollment targets were met (<5% of eligible participants refusing participation) and lost-to-follow up was minimal (10%). Participants attended an average of 54% of sessions and reported a high degree of satisfaction with the intervention via the Client-Satisfaction-Questionnaire-8 (M = 30.5, SD = 2.2). Significant improvements in cognitive (delayed recall [aRR = 1.16], working memory [aRR = 0.79], verbal fluency [aRR = 1.09]) and psychological (depression [aRR = 0.63], and anxiety severity [aRR = 0.73]) domains were observed when controlling for age, gender, and education. DISCUSSION/IMPLICATIONS: Results indicate that HOLA is an innovative and promising health promotion program that is uniquely tailored to address the multiple cognitive and psychological concerns affecting OLPWH in a nonstigmatizing and culturally acceptable manner.
