Integrating Routine HIV Testing into Family Planning Clinics That Treat Adolescents and Young Adults.

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
objectiveAdolescents and young adults remain at high risk for new HIV infections and for unknowingly transmitting the virus to others. Yet, they have demonstrated low rates of testing due to barriers such as stigma and difficulty accessing testing services. Few existing programs have successfully integrated family planning and HIV care services to improve testing and diagnosis rates among young adults and adolescents, particularly those of minority groups. This study describes the process of implementing HIV services into family planning clinics and how to train staff in routine, opt-out testing.
methodsThis study used HIV screening data from 10 family planning clinics serving adolescents and young adults in Houston, Texas. A total of 34,299 patients were tested for HIV during a 48-month study period, from January 2010 through December 2014.
resultsPatients tested included minors <18 years of age (25.5%), males (22.8%), and individuals who had missed opportunities for HIV testing at other health-care settings. From the opt-in period (2006-2007) to the routine, opt-out period (2008-2010), the yearly average number of tests administered more than doubled; the yearly average increased again by 50% from the routine, opt-out period to the routine, rapid period (2011-2014). Eighty-eight (0.3%) patients were diagnosed with HIV, a higher seropositivity rate than CDC's recommended threshold of 0.1% for settings where routine screening is warranted.
conclusionRoutine, opt-out HIV testing integrated into family planning clinics increased rates of testing acceptance, receipt of test results, and HIV-positive diagnoses among adolescents and young adults.
