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
introductionChildren whose parents with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and family of index clients are at high risk of HIV infection. Family testing is an efficient and effective way of identifying children's HIV. The number of children becoming newly infected with HIV remains unacceptably high. This study is to assess human immune deficiency, virus serostatus, and associated factors among children of adult index cases in central Tigrai, Northern Ethiopia, 2019.
methodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study design was conducted to select a total of 454 index cases from February 01 to April 30, 2019. Data were collected from adult clients on antiretroviral treatment who have children using administered questionnaires and data extraction from the hospital antiretroviral register. Simple random sampling was used to select the index cases using the medical record number. Binary logistic regression analysis, odds ratio, and 95% confidence interval were used to determine the strength of association between dependent and independent variables. Statistical significance was declared a P-value <0.05.
resultsThe prevalence of HIV in children from family index case testing was 8.9% with 95% CI (6.5-11.6). Female index clients [AOR=0.18, 95% CI: 06-0.55], the age of the child [AOR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.76, 0.97], importance of HIV testing [AOR=5.20, 95% CI: 2.2011.96], and discussion HIV testing [AOR=3.22, 95% CI: 1.5-16.84]. Participants who did not discuss HIV were 3.2 more likely have HIV positive child than who discussed with family members.
conclusionThe majority of the index clients test their children, but the prevalence rate of HIV in children from family index case testing is high. Strategies should be developed on how to communicate with household members about HIV.
