1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Introduction: Online community-based exercise (CBE) is a rehabilitation strategy that can promote health outcomes among people living with HIV. We aimed to describe experiences implementing a community-based exercise (CBE) intervention with adults living with HIV. Methods: We conducted a longitudinal qualitative descriptive study involving interviews with adults living with HIV and persons implementing an online tele-coaching CBE intervention. Leveraging community-based research principles, the intervention aimed to improve physical activity engagement and health outcomes through online individualized coaching, online YMCA resources, and wearable fitness technology. We analyzed interviews with adults living with HIV and representatives involved in CBE implementation at baseline (month 0), end of intervention (6 months), and end of follow-up phase (12 months). Results: Thirteen adults living with HIV and eight representatives involved in CBE implementation participated in the study (43 interviews total). Key themes included the "four Cs": Cost, Care, Comfort, and Convenience that encapsulated participants' perceptions of financial barriers, need for holistic healthcare integration, importance of stigma-free and emotionally supportive environments, and accessibility of health interventions. Discussion: Results underscore the critical role of inclusive and adaptable exercise programs in addressing the complex needs of individuals with chronic, episodic conditions such as HIV, and the value of participatory, community-driven methodologies in designing effective and equitable health interventions. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05006391.
