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

backgroundBaltimore is an urban center that has been highly impacted by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV); however, many individuals are unaware of their HIV and/or HCV status. In 2013, the Johns Hopkins Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) developed Generation Tomorrow, an HIV and HCV education, testing, and counseling program with community input and collaboration.

objectivesThe aims of Generation Tomorrow are to increase HIV and HCV awareness and detection in Baltimore and engage the next generation of health professionals (students) and community members (peers) in HIV and HCV outreach services.

methodsThe Generation Tomorrow educational component includes formal HIV and HCV testing and counselling training, and a lecture series for students and peers. The participants then engage in field assignments and outreach events with Johns Hopkins associated programs or community-based organizations.

resultsGeneration Tomorrow trained 71 students and peers in three cohorts, 70% of whom reported that they planned to stay in HIV- and/or HCV-related work. From October 2014 to May 2015, which represents the first year that Generation Tomorrow ran with the full academic calendar, Generation Tomorrow students and peers worked with partner organizations to conduct 1,104 HIV rapid antibody tests and found 19 individuals (1.72%) to be HIV positive. Additionally, 778 HCV rapid antibody tests were conducted and 175 individuals (22.5%) were HCV antibody positive.

conclusionsGeneration Tomorrow has been successful in engaging students and community peers in HIV and HCV education, testing, and counseling, and has documented HIV and HCV positivity rates well above general community prevalence.
