Assessing the National Prevalence of HIV Screening in the United States using Electronic Health Record Data.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommend population-based screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at least once in each patient's life. National surveys estimate that 42.5% of the population has been screened; however, these studies have relatively low sample sizes and inherent survey biases. Using a national, de-identified cloud-based electronic health record (EHR) information from over 48 million patients, we found that only 6.4% of Americans over the age of 18 had laboratory evidence of a prior HIV test. Further investigation is necessary to determine if single-item questions on national surveys correlate with objective evidence of HIV testing, as well as addressing the numerous limitations related to the use of EHR data that likely grossly underestimates the prevalence of HIV screening nationally.
