Trial report in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02834572 (Using Technology to Match Young Black Men and Transwomen Who Have Sex With Men or Transwomen to HIV Testing Options), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundHIV testing is critical to HIV prevention and care. Infrequent HIV testing and late HIV diagnosis have been observed among young Black men who have sex with men and transwomen. Novel interventions to increase HIV testing rates among young Black men who have sex with men and transwomen are needed.

methodsA randomized controlled trial among 236 young Black men and transwomen who have sex with men or transwomen evaluated the efficacy of an intervention that included completion of a brief survey and receipt of a personalized recommendation of an optimal HIV testing approach. Participants completed a computerized baseline assessment and were randomized to electronically receive either a personalized recommendation or standard HIV testing information. Follow-up surveys were conducted online at 3 and 6 months.

resultsRetention was 92% and 93% at 3-month and 6-month follow-up, respectively. At baseline, 41% of participants reported that they tested for HIV in the past 3 months and another 25% between 4 and 6 months ago. Intent-to-treat analyses found that participants randomized to the experimental arm (personalized recommendation) were not significantly more likely to test for HIV compared with participants in the standard HIV testing information control arm at 3 months (76% vs. 71%; P = 0.40) and 6 months (73% vs. 72%; P = 0.81), respectively.

conclusionsThis study evaluated an innovative intervention to increase HIV testing by matching individuals to optimal HIV testing approaches. Participants in both arms increased past 3-month HIV testing, suggesting that providing information on options and/or raising risk awareness is sufficient to significantly increase HIV testing.
