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

backgroundApproximately 13% of persons with HIV (PWH) are unaware of their status. To help end HIV, it is important to understand the relationship between the rates of HIV testing and undiagnosed HIV infection.

settingEnding the HIV in the U.S. (EHE) jurisdictions.

methodsUsing 2021 data from the National HIV Surveillance System and the National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation system, we calculated estimated rates of undiagnosed HIV infections per 100,000 population and rates of CDC-funded HIV tests per 1,000 population. We assessed the association between the two rates using Spearman's rank correlation. We also calculated a rank difference between the two rates for each EHE jurisdiction to help identify jurisdictions with greater unfilled needs for HIV testing.

resultsOverall, CDC-funded HIV tests per 1,000 population were positively associated with estimated rate of undiagnosed HIV infection per 100,000 population (rho=0.55, p<0.001). EHE jurisdictions with the greatest magnitude of negative rank differences (i.e., higher undiagnosed HIV infection per 100,000 population and lower CDC-funded HIV tests per 1,000 population) were Prince George's County, MD; Mecklenburg County, NC; Hudson County, NJ; Bronx County, NY, and Hamilton County, OH.

conclusionsIn general, CDC-funded HIV testing is being conducted in jurisdictions with the greatest needs. However, we also found large discrepancies between CDC-funded HIV testing and undiagnosed HIV infection rates for some jurisdictions. These jurisdictions may want to identify barriers to their HIV testing services and expand their programs to ensure that all PWH in their jurisdictions are diagnosed.
