Service capacity of institutions serving the mental health needs of persons living with HIV in Georgia.
Article in AIDS care, 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
This study mapped the availability, integration, and referral patterns of mental health (MH) and substance use disorder (SUD) services for people living with HIV (PLWH) in Georgia. PLWH face a heightened burden of MH conditions, compounded by systemic and social barriers. In Georgia, these challenges are exacerbated by fragmented healthcare system, centralized HIV care, and limited service integration. Cross-sectional survey was conducted between January-August 2024 using a structured questionnaire distributed to 80 institutions across 11 regions of Georgia, including MH centers, HIV-focused NGOs, PLWH treatment and support organizations, and primary healthcare (PHC) centers. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and social network-informed methods. Findings revealed geographic disparities, with services concentrated in urban centers, particularly Tbilisi. Specialized MH institutions provided most clinical MH and SUD services, while HIV-focused organizations delivered treatment and support services. However, formal service protocols for HIV-related MH care were rare. Referral pathways were siloed, showing strong internal linkages among HIV service providers but weak or absent connections with MH and PHC sectors. These findings highlight the urgent need to integrate MH services into HIV platforms and strengthen inter-organizational referrals ensuring comprehensive, person-centered care for PLWH.
