An Intersectional Approach to HIV Vulnerabilities and Testing Among Heterosexual African Caribbean and Black Men in London, Ontario: Results From the weSpeak Study.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Heterosexual African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) men are a vulnerable group to HIV infection in Canada, but little is known about their uptake of HIV testing services. Studies on ACB men HIV vulnerabilities have largely focused on behavioural factors. While these studies have contributed to the current HIV prevention success in Canada, little attention has been paid to structural factors that intersect with prevailing behaviours to reinforce vulnerabilities. Drawing insights from intersectionality theory, we examined healthcare access and HIV testing among heterosexual ACB men in London, Ontario. We fitted the negative log-log link function to 155 individuals' survey. Results show that participants, who had difficulty accessing healthcare, experienced discrimination, and were young, were all less likely to test for HIV. Even though the probability of testing for HIV increased after accounting for the effect of structural factors, the marginal impact was higher for those without any difficulty accessing healthcare than those with difficulty. Findings are discussed within the broader theory of intersectionality and recommendations made for public health policy.
