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: Globally, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic continues to pose significant challenges. In China, the differentiated services delivery (DSD) model has been implemented to improve healthcare for people living with HIV (PLHIV). However, challenges persist in fully implementing and scaling up the DSD model. Given the knowledge gaps and the need for better strategies to support this vulnerable population, our study aimed to explore the experiences, challenges, and needs of PLHIV to inform the development of patient-centered healthcare services. Methods: We employed a qualitative design to interview 20 PLHIV from July 27 to October 13, 2024, in the Infectious Disease Ward at the Second People's Hospital in Chenzhou, Hunan Province. Individual face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted to collect data. Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method and NVivo 14 was used to analyze the transcripts. Results: The participants, aged 23 to 83 years, had been living with HIV for durations ranging from one month to 19 years. The interview data revealed four themes: (1) the Conclusion: PLHIV in this study have undergone complex journeys across physical, psychological, societal, and spiritual dimensions, expressing urgent needs for support from various stakeholders. Our findings highlight the urgency of implementing patient-centered care, enhancing psychological support, reducing discrimination, and providing robust social and spiritual care through stakeholder collaboration to optimize the DSD model and resource allocation.
