Workplace factors associated with willingness to undergo human immunodeficiency virus testing during workplace health checkups.
Article in Environmental health and preventive medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTo examine workplace factors associated with willingness to undergo human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing during workplace health checkups.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used an Internet-based self-administered questionnaire to obtain data from a pool of 24,287 Japanese workers. Binary and multiple logistic regression analyses evaluated the association between workplace factors and HIV testing. Data were adjusted for sex, age, marital status, education, and history of HIV testing.
resultsWe gathered information from 4,143 (17.1%) respondents, of whom 1,129 (27.3%) were willing to be tested for HIV as part of a workplace health checkup. The participants were 20-59 years old. Approximately half of the participants were male (49.9%), half were married (48.9%), and half had completed higher education (47.6%). Workplace hepatitis testing was offered to 15.6% of the respondents, and most participants underwent health checkups without their colleagues (52.1%) at a medical facility (60.2%). Willingness to undergo HIV testing was positively correlated with having an increased risk of occupational blood exposure (vs. not at risk, adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.74, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.41-2.15) or working in medical and welfare roles (vs. manufacturing, OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.07-1.84). The presence of occupational health staff at the workplace (vs. their absence, adjusted OR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.16-1.59) and hepatitis testing (vs. not testing, adjusted OR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.66-2.44) increased willingness to undergo HIV testing.
conclusionsA pilot HIV-testing program involving individuals at an increased risk of occupational blood exposure and undergoing hepatitis tests in workplaces providing occupational health staff support is recommended.
