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

HIV remains a major health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, and innovations - such as HIV self-testing (HST) - that break down barriers to testing are required to move toward elimination. Four anonymous cross-sectional surveys were conducted assessing HST knowledge and attitudes among sports-based HIV prevention tournament attendees in Nairobi, Kenya. Results suggest HST may increase testing rates in this population. Participants expressed interest in using HST and were willing to use HST as a tool to motivate others. This poses a unique opportunity for a community intervention aimed to increase knowledge of HST, and to increase HIV testing rates using HST kits.
