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

Since African Americans are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, interventions that increase correct and consistent condom use are urgently needed. We report baseline acceptability data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) testing the Tailored Information Program for Safer Sex, a computer-tailored intervention designed to increase correct and consistent condom use among low income, heterosexually active African Americans attending an urban sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic. We enrolled 274 participants at baseline in an RCT-147 in the intervention group. The intervention had high acceptability, with a mean acceptability of 4.35 on a 5-point scale. We conducted a multiple regression analysis examining demographic, structural, and sexual risk characteristics that revealed only sex to be significantly (p < .01) associated with intervention acceptability. While women were more likely than men to find the intervention acceptable, overall the results indicated broad acceptability of this intervention to the target audience. eHealth interventions are a viable option for HIV prevention among African Americans visiting a publicly-funded STI clinic. We discuss implications of these results for the future application of such programs.
