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

In the United States, young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and young transgender women (YTGW) are disproportionality affected by HIV. To overcome this public health problem, we created and tested the mLab application (app), a novel mobile health (mHealth) that offers HIV prevention information and an imaging algorithm for interpreting the at-home HIV test. This study assessed the mLab app usability for HIV testing and its relation to users' education and health literacy. The results showed high user satisfaction and perceived usability of mLab to provide accessible HIV testing solutions for YMSM and YTGW. Findings suggest that the rigorous user-centered design of the mLab app supported a usable app independent of education and health literacy levels.
