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

objectivesElectronic health record (EHR) systems have been infrequently used to support HIV service delivery models to optimise HIV prevention and treatment cascades. We have studied the implementation, uptake and use of an EHR among Thai men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender (TG) women.

methodsParticipants, e-counselled via the Adam's Love ( www.adamslove.org) support platforms, after having completed risk behaviour questionnaires and being assessed for their HIV risk by online counsellors, were enrolled based on their preference into one of three EHR-supported arms: (1) private clinic-based HIV testing and counselling (HTC); (2) online pretest counselling and private clinic-based HIV testing (hybrid); and (3) online supervised HIV self-testing and counselling (eHTC).

resultsBetween December 2015 and May 2016, of a total of 489 MSM and TG women were introduced to the study, 186 (38%) enrolled into the study, with 89, 72 and 25 participants joining the HTC, hybrid and eHTC arms, respectively. Seeking sex online was reported by 83.9%. HIV prevalence was highest (16%) in the eHTC arm, and participants in this arm were more likely to be younger (median age 25

conclusionsYoung and high-risk MSM and some TG women engaged successfully with the Adam's Love EHR system, showing its potential to support innovative service delivery models and target hard-to-reach and vulnerable populations.
