Introducing the WHO ICOPE approach into HIV care: A perspective on healthy ageing in people living with HIV.
Article in JAR life, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
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: The ageing of people living with HIV (PWH) presents unique clinical and public health challenges that are not fully addressed by current care models. Objective: This Perspective paper aims to explore the feasibility and added value of introducing the World Health Organization (WHO) Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework and guidelines into HIV care models, using the lens of intrinsic capacity (IC) and functional ability to reframe how age-related conditions are managed. In particular, we discuss how HIV services can adopt intrinsic capacity (IC) assessments and function-centered care as a scalable strategy to promote healthy ageing. Methods: This is a narrative and conceptual Perspective based on literature review, expert consultation, and clinical case examples, including the Modena HIV Metabolic Clinic and experiences from resource-limited settings. Results: The ICOPE approach offers a feasible, person-centred framework for identifying and managing early declines of IC across six domains. ICOPE facilitates timely interventions at the primary health care level. HIV care services and systems, already oriented towards longitudinal and multidisciplinary management, are uniquely positioned to pioneer ICOPE implementation. Conclusion: HIV medicine may serve as a model for expanding the integration of the ICOPE approach across chronic diseases, especially in low-resource settings where primary care structures must address age-related vulnerability. Adopting ICOPE can promote healthy ageing in PWH and beyond.
