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

Purpose: This study aims to objectively evaluate and synthesize qualitative studies on the facilitators and barriers to PA among middle-aged and older adults living with HIV. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in four databases-Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, and CINAHL-covering the period from January 2000 to December 2024. The included studies were qualitatively reviewed according to the Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ) guidelines. A meta-aggregative approach was used to summarize and categorize the identified facilitators and barriers. Results: A total of 9 articles were included in the study, identifying 71 facilitators and 59 barriers. These factors were categorized into two main themes and seven sub-themes. Conclusion: PA among middle-aged and older adults living with HIV is influenced by multiple factors. There is a need to deeply understand the actual situation of this population and focus on the core elements affecting PA in order to improve the health of middle-aged and older adults living with HIV and help address the global issue of HIV and aging. Systematic review registration: Identifier: CRD42024498010.
