HIV Self-Test Experiences and Implementation Considerations Among Transgender Women in the Philippines: Getting Ready for Scale-Up.
Article in AIDS education and prevention : official publication of the International Society for AIDS Education, 2025. 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
The Philippines has one of the fastest-growing HIV epidemics in the Asia-Pacific region. Transgender women (TW) in the Philippines face considerable obstacles in accessing HIV testing. HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a promising strategy to improve testing uptake, but there is limited information regarding how TW in the Philippines perceive this approach. We interviewed 25 adult HIV-negative TW from Metro Manila about their experiences, concerns, and recommendations for enhancing the implementation of HIVST within their community. We found four key themes: (1) Empowerment and autonomy as advantages of HIVST; (2) Person-level concerns related to the administration of self-tests, encompassing emotional readiness and concerns about accuracy; (3) Potential for expanding HIVST initiatives through community engagement and access to real-time support; and (4) Possible links between HIVST and other HIV prevention and health promotion services. The findings of this study offer strategies for implementing HIVST among TW in the Philippines.
