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
backgroundThe majority of people living with HIV/AIDS in China are unaware of their serostatus, and increasing the utilization of HIV testing may help to control the epidemic.
methodsThis longitudinal study was conducted among female sex workers (FSWs) in 2 cities in Yunnan Province, China. Participants were surveyed in face-to-face interviews and tested for HIV and STDs. Factors associated with HIV-testing history and HIV-test follow-up were analyzed.
resultsOf the 1642 study participants, 291 (17.7%) had been previously tested and 868 (52.9%) returned for post-test follow-up. Factors associated with having a previous HIV test included attending the Kaiyuan study (aOR: 4.9, 95% CI: 2.3-10.1), ≥ 9 years of schooling (aOR: 10.9, 95% CI: 2.6-45.5), <5 clients in the recent week (aOR: 1.7, 95% CI: 1.2-2.3), having a regular sexual partner (aOR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.4-2.5), illegal drug use history (aOR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.5-3.1), pelvic pain in the past 12 months (aOR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.1-3.6), HIV-seropositivity (aOR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.2-2.8), and high perception of HIV risk (aOR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.1-2.2). FSWs who had ≥ 9 years of schooling (aOR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1-1.9), had <5 clients in the recent week (aOR: 1.3, 95% CI: 1.1-1.6), or were from another province (aOR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.4-2.5) or city (aOR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1-1.8) were more likely to follow-up.
conclusionsThe low HIV-testing history and follow-up rates found in this is study is a significant public health problem as many high-risk individuals are not aware of their serostatus. Immediate action needs to be taken to increase the utilization of HIV testing services and notify people of their HIV status.
