HIV testing practices and attitudes on prevention efforts in six diverse Chicago communities.
Article in Journal of community health, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Data describing local level HIV testing practices and attitudes regarding HIV prevention are rarely available, yet would be useful for HIV policy and evaluation. A comprehensive health survey was conducted in six community areas of Chicago (n = 1,699) in 2002-2003. The HIV prevention module of this survey was used for this analysis. The proportion that ever tested for HIV ranged from 40 to 75% and 11 to 38% were tested in the past 12 months. Residents favored: needle exchange programs (59-77%), HIV information in high schools (95-100%) and elementary schools (85-94%), and condom distribution in high schools (74-93%). Attitudes were less favorable regarding pharmacies selling clean needles (37-58%) and condom distribution in elementary schools (22-66%). Adults in these areas are over three times more likely to have been tested recently than adults nationally. Residents strongly favor community based HIV prevention initiatives such as needle exchange programs, condom distribution in high schools, and HIV prevention taught in schools. These evidence-based observations may be valuable in planning HIV prevention programs and in shaping policy.
