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
HIV testing remains a critical point of entry to HIV treatment services and now biomedical prevention as well. Yet despite the high HIV prevalence among Black men who have sex with men (MSM), insufficient attention has been given to factors associated with those Black MSM in the United States who have never received an HIV test in their lifetime. Promoting Our Worth, Equality, & Resilience (POWER) is a cross-sectional observational study that recruited Black MSM at Black Pride events across six cities in the United States from 2014 to 2017. Participants completed an anonymous questionnaire and were offered free, confidential HIV testing. Of the 4174 Black MSM without a prior HIV diagnosis, 404 (9.68%) had never tested for HIV (mean age = 31.03 years). Lower education and greater internalized homophobia were associated with never having tested for HIV. Higher age (AOR = 1.05, 95%, 1.02-1.07) and assumption of HIV-positivity (AOR = 3.24, 95% CI 1.53-6.84) were both associated with increased odds of an HIV-positive test result (n = 119; 36%). To compare, HIV prevalence among Black MSM who had received at least one HIV test before study participation was 23%. While a minority of Black MSM had never received an HIV test, this group had a significantly higher likelihood of HIV infection. Alternative HIV testing strategies are needed to facilitate HIV testing initiation among Black MSM for whom conventional HIV testing modalities are insufficient.
