Predictors of missed HIV screening opportunities among newly diagnosed individuals at an urban medical center in New York City, 2018-2022.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo identify demographic and clinical factors predictive of having a missed opportunity (MO) for HIV screening.
designRetrospective cohort study.
methodsElectronic medical records were queried for individuals newly diagnosed with HIV in different sites within a large urban academic medical center in New York City between 2018 and 2022. The primary outcome was having one or more MO for HIV screening within the institution, defined as any encounter at which screening was not performed in the 365 days preceding the HIV diagnosis.
resultsOver one third of new diagnoses had at least one MO in the preceding year. Older individuals, cisgender women and those assigned female sex at birth, and heterosexual individuals were more likely to have at least one MO. An initial CD4 < 200 cells/ul was more likely among men who have sex with women specifically. Most MOs occurred in the emergency department and outpatient settings, with minimal HIV prevention discussions documented during each MO.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that populations perceived to be at lower risk for HIV are more likely to have MOs and possibly late diagnoses, and that universal HIV screening must be implemented into the workflows of emergency department and outpatient settings to facilitate early diagnosis and reduce the incidence of HIV.
