Safer conception needs of women living with HIV in Southern Ghana: a qualitative study.
Article in Journal of research in nursing : JRN, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved the quality of life of women living with HIV (WLHIV), increasing their intention and attempts at having children. Educating WLHIV on safer conception strategies helps them to navigate the periconception HIV transmission risk. However, understanding the context-specific needs of WLHIV is crucial in tailoring the provision of SC services. Nonetheless, this is a challenge in Ghana due to information dearth on the subject. Aim: To explore the safer conception needs of WLHIV who intend to have biological children in the Oti and Volta Regions of Ghana. Methods: In a qualitative exploratory design, in-depth interviews were conducted with 24 purposively sampled WLHIV who intended to have children within 24 months. Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis was employed in data analysis. Results: The needs identified by WLHIV include the need for healthcare worker-initiated communication, education on SC strategies, couple-based education on HIV prevention, continual ARV supply, assistance with fertility, and empathy. Conclusion: WLHIV have safe conception needs. This finding should inform the organisation of HIV reproductive health and nursing care to ensure a WLHIV-centred service that can facilitate the uptake of SC, thereby contributing to the prevention of periconception HIV transmission.
