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
backgroundCommercial sex venues (e.g., bathhouses) that cater to men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to function in most urban areas. These venues present a challenge to developing strategies to prevent the spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but they also provide opportunities for interventions to reduce the risk and rate of disease transmission. Several cities in the United States have developed programs that offer HIV testing in these venues. Similar programs have not existed before in New York City.
methodsA pilot HIV testing program was implemented at 2 New York City bathhouses. Testing included rapid HIV testing, the use of the serologic testing algorithm for recent HIV seroconversion, and pooled plasma HIV viral load to detect and date incident and acute HIV infections. In addition to HIV tests, behavioral and demographic data were collected from 493 presumed HIV-negative participants.
resultsThe pilot program recruited MSM who were at high risk for HIV infection. Of the 493 men tested, 20 (4%) were found to be positive for HIV, and 8 (40%) of these 20 men demonstrated evidence of acute or recent HIV infection. The program tested men often not tested in more traditional medical settings. Significant disparities were demonstrated in the testing habits of MSM who reported having sex with women and had not disclosed same-sex activities to their caregivers.
conclusionsBathhouse-based testing for HIV infection can be implemented in New York City and would include a population of MSM who are at high risk for HIV infection. Because of the high rate of recent HIV infection, expanded testing in these venues may be a good strategy to reduce the forward transmission of HIV in this highly sexually active population.
