Barriers to HIV Testing: Patient and Provider Perspectives in the Deep South.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Although CDC guidelines call for universal, "opt-out" HIV testing, barriers to testing continue to exist throughout the United States, with the rural South particularly vulnerable to both HIV infection and decreased awareness of status. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to evaluate uptake of "opt-out" HIV testing and barriers to testing within the primary care setting in the South. A concurrent triangulation design guided the collection of quantitative data from patients (N = 250) and qualitative data from providers (N = 10) across three primary health clinics in Alabama. We found that 30% of patients had never been tested for HIV, with the highest ranked barrier among patients being perceived costs, access to specialty care, and not feeling at risk. Significant differences existed in perceived barriers between patients and providers. Increased provider-patient engagement and the routine implementation of "opt-out" HIV testing would effectively reveal and mitigate barriers to testing, thus, increasing awareness of status.
