Dentists' willingness to provide expanded HIV screening in oral health care settings: results from a nationally representative survey.
Article in American journal of public health, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
objectivesUsing a nationally representative survey, we determined dentists' willingness to provide oral rapid HIV screening in the oral health care setting.
methodsFrom November 2010 through November 2011, a nationally representative survey of general dentists (sampling frame obtained from American Dental Association Survey Center) examined barriers and facilitators to offering oral HIV rapid testing (n = 1802; 70.7% response). Multiple logistic regression analysis examined dentists' willingness to conduct this screening and perceived compatibility with their professional role.
resultsAgreement with the importance of annual testing for high-risk persons and familiarity with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendations regarding routine HIV testing were positively associated with willingness to conduct such screening. Respondents' agreement with patients' acceptance of HIV testing and colleagues' improved perception of them were also positively associated with willingness.
conclusionsOral HIV rapid testing is potentially well suited to the dental setting. Although our analysis identified many predictors of dentists' willingness to offer screening, there are many barriers, including dentists' perceptions of patients' acceptance, that must be addressed before such screening is likely to be widely implemented.
