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

Men who have sex with men (MSM) are among of the key population groups that have been disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic globally. Hence, MSM living with HIV may experience unique challenges leading to their disengagement from and re-engagement with care. This study aimed to identify factors associated with ART re-engagement among MSM in selected districts of South African provinces. A retrospective observational study design was followed, utilising MSM routine programme data from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2022. The programme enrolled 3337 MSM aged 16 years or older who resided in the selected provinces/districts. Descriptive statistics characterised participants' baseline profiles. Binary logistic regression identified factors associated with re-engagement with ART. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 31.0.1.0;
