Shortening "the Road" to Improve Engagement with HIV Testing Resources: A Qualitative Study Among Stakeholders in Rural Uganda.
Article in AIDS patient care and STDs, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
In HIV-endemic areas, traditional healers are frequently used with, or instead of, biomedical resources for health care needs. Studies show healers are interested in and capable of supporting patients in the HIV care cascade. However, adults who receive care from healers have low engagement with HIV services. To achieve epidemic control, we must understand gaps between the needs of HIV-endemic communities and the potential for healers to improve HIV service uptake. This study's objective was to characterize stakeholder perspectives on barriers to HIV testing and approaches to mitigate barriers in a medically pluralistic, HIV-endemic region. This study was conducted in Mbarara District, a rural area of southwestern Uganda with high HIV prevalence. Participants included HIV clinical staff, traditional healers, and adults receiving care from healers. Fifty-six participants [
