The impact of online and offline social support on the quality of life of HIV/AIDS patients: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Online and offline social support may shape the quality of life (QoL) of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), yet their relative and joint contributions remain unclear. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 605 PLWHA in Xuzhou, gathering demographic data, subjective well-being, socioeconomic status, HIV/AIDS knowledge, offline and online social support, and QoL. Correlation analysis, multiple linear regression, and mediation-moderation models quantified associations. Results: Higher socioeconomic status, greater subjective well-being, richer HIV/AIDS knowledge, and stronger offline and online support independently predicted better QoL (all Conclusion: Offline support boosts QoL both directly and by fostering online support, whereas online support alone confers additional benefit without buffering deficits in offline support. Integrating face-to-face and digital support is therefore crucial for optimising patient outcomes.
