1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo determine support of in-pharmacy human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing among pharmacy staff and the individual-level characteristics associated with in-pharmacy HIV testing support.

designDescriptive, nonexperimental, cross-sectional study.

settingNew York City (NYC) from January 2008 to March 2009.

participants480 pharmacy staff, including pharmacists, owners/managers, and technicians/clerks.

intervention131 pharmacies registered in the Expanded Syringe Access Program (ESAP) completed a survey.

main outcome measureSupport of in-pharmacy HIV testing.

resultsSupport of in-pharmacy HIV testing is high among pharmacy staff (79.4%). Pharmacy staff who supported in-pharmacy vaccinations were significantly more likely to support in-pharmacy HIV testing. Pharmacy staff who thought that selling syringes to injection drug users (IDUs) caused the community to be littered with dirty syringes were significantly less likely to support in-pharmacy HIV testing.

conclusionSupport for in-pharmacy HIV testing was high among our sample of ESAP pharmacy staff actively involved in nonprescription syringe sales. These findings suggest that active ESAP pharmacy staff may be amenable to providing HIV counseling and testing to IDUs and warrants further investigation.
