Impact of socio-demographic factors on HIV testing among African immigrants in Portugal.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study aimed to describe the proportion of HIV testing among an African immigrant population in Portugal and identify the socio-demographic factors that may be associated. A questionnaire was applied to 522 African immigrants (53% men) who attend the National Immigrant Support Centre, in Lisbon. Odds ratios (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated through logistic regression to analyse the relationships between HIV testing and other variables. Around 52% of participants reported having been HIV tested, mostly women. After adjusting for potential confounders, age and educational level were significantly associated with HIV testing for both women and men. Searching for HIV information at NHS was also significantly associated with HIV testing, but only among men. This study points out interesting challenges for HIV prevention programs among African immigrants and may help in the development of tailored projects focused on the promotion of HIV testing among these populations.
