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 registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
abstractThe Confidential Social Network Referrals for HIV Testing (CONSORT) intervention leverages the ubiquity of mobile phones and social networks to nudge at-risk populations to test for HIV. Pilot results suggest that confidential SMS testing invitations are acceptable among diverse populations and may reach those at above-average risk of HIV infection.
