Screening and Enrollment by Sex in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Clinical Trials in the United States.
Article in Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundWomen are underrepresented in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) research in the United States. To determine if women screening for HIV clinical trials enrolled at lower rates than men, we performed a retrospective, cross-trial analysis.
methodsWe conducted an analysis of screening and enrollment during 2003-2013 to 31 clinical trials at 99 AIDS Clinical Trials Group network research sites in the United States. Random-effects meta regression estimated whether sex differences in not enrolling ("screen out") varied by various individual, trial, or site characteristics.
resultsOf 10 744 persons screened, 18.9% were women. The percentages of women and men who screened out were 27.9% and 26.5%, respectively (P = .19); this small difference did not significantly vary by race, ethnicity, or age group. Most common reasons for screening out were not meeting eligibility criteria (30-35%) and opting out (23%), and these did not differ by sex. Trial and research site characteristics associated with variable screen-out by sex included HIV research domain and type of hemoglobin eligibility criterion, but individual associations did not persist after adjustment for multiple testing.
conclusionsIn the absence of evidence of significantly higher trial screen-out for women, approaching more women to screen may increase female representation in HIV trials.
