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

Tanzanian youth have high levels of HIV risk and poor access to HIV-testing. Oral self-implemented testing (Oral-SIT) provides an alternative that reduces barriers to HIV-testing. We examined adaptations to Oral-SIT training components in a randomized experiment to evaluate a "train-the-trainer" strategy for improving comprehension of graphic training materials. Participants (N = 257, age = 14-19 years) were randomly assigned to one of two self-training conditions: graphic instruction book (GIB) or Video-GIB. Outcomes included behavioral performance fidelity, self-reported comprehension, and intentions to seek treatment. Video-GIB participants, relative to GIB-only participants, had higher performance fidelity scores, made fewer performance errors, had better instruction comprehension, and were more likely to intend to seek treatment. Oral-SIT timing errors were significantly more common among GIB-only participants. Graphic training materials in conjunction with a "train-the-trainer" video has significant potential for increasing Oral-SIT's reach by overcoming technological and literacy barriers.
