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.

Abstract

To examine effects of a multilevel, religiously-tailored HIV testing intervention, Taking It to the Pews (TIPS), on receipt of HIV testing with African American church-affiliated populations, 14 African American churches (N = 1,491) were randomized to TIPS or a multilevel, non-tailored HIV education attention-control arm in a cluster-randomized trial (Kansas City urban area, 2013 to 2019). Receipt of an HIV test was examined using objective data and participant self-reports (last 12 months), including self-reported exposure to intervention components. Overall, 471 HIV tests were completed; TIPS intervention churches conducted significantly more tests than controls (339 versus 132, p = 0.003). Also, a larger proportion of intervention participants self-reported receipt of an HIV test than controls (38% versus 34%). Participants in intervention churches self-reported exposure to an average of 7 of 14 different intervention arm HIV-related activities; activities with the most exposures were printed information/posters (71%), resource tables (70%), sermons (63%), and health professional or HIV-positive speakers (60%). Odds of HIV testing increased 47% for each additional intervention exposure reported. African American faith communities delivering a multilevel, religiously-tailored HIV testing intervention can significantly impact receipt of HIV testing with African American church-affiliated populations.Trial registration number and date: NCT02529644 Aug 06 2015.
