Evaluation of a Phone-Based Program to Increase Adherence to Antiretrovirals Among PLWH: A Pilot Study.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 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
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a major challenge for people living with HIV (PLWH). The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the six criteria for a phone-based intervention program for PLWH in Indonesia using a mixed methods feasibility study design. PLWH were included who took ART for at least 3 months, who had a cell phone, access to the internet, and the WhatsApp application. Thirty eligible respondents completed demographic information and shared their daily ART frequency during the enrolment visit. Motivational and health promotion messages were sent in the form of text message, images, and video links 30 min before their scheduled medication time for 3 months (October-December 2020). All respondents were retained until the end of the program. Necessity: Identified a need to be reminded when their ARTs were due. Feasibility: The participants were used to WhatsApp in their daily lives. Acceptability: The respondents responded well to the messages. Safety: None of the respondents experienced a mental distress due to involuntary HIV disclosure or stigma. Fidelity: The program delivered 79 to 91% of the messages. Challenges of the phone-based program centred around technical issues, human error user error, and environmental problems. Cost: The program could be delivered for less than $3 a day. The program met the six criteria for a useful intervention and can be applied to promote adherence to ART in remote regions of Indonesia.
