Higher steps per day and better diet quality associated with lower symptom burden in adults with HIV: results from the PROSPER-HIV study.
Article in Research connections, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03790501 (Impact of Physical Activity Routines and Dietary Intake on the Longitudinal Symptom Experience of People Living With HIV), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Background and aims: People with HIV (PWH) experience a persistent symptom burden that negatively affects quality of life and daily functioning. Evidence examining modifiable lifestyle behaviors that may mitigate symptoms is limited. We examined longitudinal associations between objectively measured physical activity, diet quality, and symptom burden in PWH. Methods: PROSPER-HIV enrolled adults with well-controlled HIV receiving care at four Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems sites in the United States. Participants completed annual assessments, including physical activity levels using actigraphy, dietary intake measured with three 24-h recalls generating the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015), and symptom burden with the Results: Among 704 participants (mean age, 52.7 years; 78% male; 52% non-Hispanic Black), symptom burden remained stable over follow-up. Participants averaged 5426 ± 3149 steps/day, 164 (IQR, 67-311) minutes/week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and an HEI-2015 score of 48.1 ± 14.6. The most prevalent bothersome symptoms were muscle aches/joint pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, anxiety, and trouble remembering. More steps/day were associated with fewer bothersome symptoms ( Conclusions: Among adults with well-controlled HIV, a higher daily step count, less sedentary time, and better diet quality were associated with lower symptom burden, highlighting critical lifestyle behaviors to support symptom management in HIV care. Learning points: Among adults with well - controlled HIV, objectively measured higher daily steps and better diet quality, but not weekly moderate - to - vigorous physical activity, were associated with lower symptom burden over three years. Achievable targets to improve persistent, clinically meaningful symptoms in HIV care were identified. Clinical trial registration number: ClinicalTrials.gov [NCT03790501].
