Implementation of Health Insurance Navigation for Racial/Ethnic Minority Men Who Have Sex With Men Presenting for Community-Based HIV Testing.
Trial report in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2026. 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
objectiveBeing uninsured is a barrier to accessing HIV prevention and treatment. This study assesses the implementation of health insurance navigation.
designRandomized structural intervention conducted from 2018 to 2020 in Chicago, IL. Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino men who have sex with men presenting for community-based HIV testing (N = 230) were offered a single session of health insurance navigation immediately after their HIV test, regardless of HIV test result.
methodsUsing descriptive statistics, we present sociodemographic characteristics, health insurance navigation uptake, and immediate health insurance outcomes resulting from navigation.
resultsMost participants were 18-34 years of age (n = 175, 76.0%), most identified as non-Hispanic Black/African American (n = 202, 87.8%), and most were insured (n = 164, 71.3%). Half (n = 115, 50.0%) accepted navigation. Of those 115, 10 uninsured participants enrolled in health insurance (8.7%) and 21 uninsured participants had incomplete enrollment (18.3%); 80 insured participants reviewed their current plan (69.6%) and 4 insured participants changed to a plan better suited to their HIV care needs (3.5%). Almost all 115 were satisfied with the amount of time they had with the navigator (n = 114, 99.1%) and the services they received (n = 107, 93.0%).
conclusionsProviding health insurance navigation at the time of HIV testing was an acceptable and feasible method to engage Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino men who have sex with men in health insurance education and enrollment. Community-based structural interventions are essential to reaching national public health and Ending the HIV Epidemic goals.
