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

Adolescents and young people aged 15-24 are underserved by available HIV-testing services (HTS). Delivering HTS through community-based, peer-led, hubs may prove acceptable and accessible to adolescents and young people, thus increasing HIV-testing coverage. We used data from the pilot phase of a cluster-randomised trial of community-based sexual and reproductive health services for adolescents and young people in Lusaka, Zambia, between September 2019 and January 2020, to explore factors associated with uptake of HTS through community-based hubs. 5,757 adolescents and young people attended the hubs (63% female), among whom 75% tested for HIV (76% of females, 75% of males). Community-based hubs provided HTS to 80% of adolescents and young people with no history of HIV-testing. Among females, uptake of HTS was lower among married/cohabiting females; among males, uptake was lower among unmarried males and among individuals at risk of hazardous alcohol use. The high number of adolescents and young people accessing hubs for HIV testing suggests they are acceptable. Enhanced targeting of HTS to groups who may not perceive their HIV risk needs to be implemented.
