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.

2 · The registry

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

We describe characteristics and results from the DREAM Program, a public health program initiated in Mozambique in 2002 to fight AIDS and other chronic diseases in Sub Saharan Africa. The DREAM Program is currently implemented in 10 countries providing free-of-charges services to over 110,000 patients. DREAM achieved remarkable success in the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV, in adherence and retention support, in viral load monitoring. Among the challenges: the limited therapeutic options for people living with HIV experiencing virological failure and limited access to resistance tests.
