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
The new epicenter of the ongoing HIV epidemic in the United States is the South. Specifically, South Carolina (SC) is listed a priority state as part of the CDC's Ending the Epidemic Plan for America. A novel opt-out HIV screening program was implemented in one rural and one urban Emergency Department (ED) within a large SC health system. Leveraging both public and private funding sources, which made both the testing and linkage processes cost neutral, ED based screening was provided for 2304 Black patients which represents an 44% increase. As part of this screening program a total of 50 individuals were linked to care of which 29 were Black. The rate of HIV positivity for Black patients using this ED based screening program was nearly double that of the baseline health system screening. This program's utilization of the health system electronic health record (EHR) and funding from various sources may provide a model for legislative and public health entities to combat the HIV epidemic in the South.
