[Evaluation of a public health program on early HIV diagnosis with quick test].

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
objectiveThe use of HIV planned and structured, community-based rapid tests is one of the main strategies for the early detection of HIV infection. The objective of the study was to assess the HIV early diagnosis programme with rapid test in the Region of Murcia.
methodsDescriptive analysis of the programme users' epidemiological data during the years 2016 to 2018. Variables related to sociodemographic characteristics, risk exposure, history of HIV test performance and its result were analyzed. All analyzes were performed with statistical software IBM SPSS25 and Microsoft Excel version 2013. Frequencies were calculated in absolute values and the variables of interest were crosshead.
resultsThere were 1,023 people tested, of which 74% performed risky sexual practices in the last 12 months, both homosexual (50%) and heterosexual (45%), with an age between 18 and 40 years. 18.2% of the users were foreigners and 61.9% had been previously tested. Among the participants in the programme the percentage of reactive tests was 2.1% and the contribution to the diagnosis of new HIV cases in the Region was 4.3%.
conclusionsThe results of the study show that the community-based programme is an effective tool for the diagnosis of HIV infection in vulnerable groups. In addition, several opportunities for improvement were identified in the process assessment, such as accessibility to the program and the collection of information.
