HIV testing in black Africans living in England.
Article in Epidemiology and infection, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We examined the uptake of HIV testing in black Africans living in England before the introduction of national testing guidelines. Analyses were conducted using data from an anonymous self-completed questionnaire linked to oral fluid samples to establish HIV status in black Africans attending community venues in England in 2004. Of 946 participants, 44% had ever been tested for HIV and 29% had been tested in the previous 24 months. Of those with undiagnosed HIV, 45% had previously had a negative HIV test. Almost a third of people tested in the UK had been at general practice. Uptake of HIV testing was not associated with perceived risk of HIV. These findings highlight the need for the implementation of national HIV testing guidelines in the UK, including the promotion of testing in general practice. Regular testing in black Africans living in the UK should be promoted regardless of their HIV test history.
