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

Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic men who have sex with men (BHMSM) in the Southern United States (US) have the highest rates of new HIV diagnoses in the country. Self-testing can increase detection and contribute to decreasing diagnoses, but it is unclear which self-test program characteristics encourage the highest engagement. To inform the design of self-test programs, we conducted an online discrete choice experiment with BHMSM in this region who did not have an HIV diagnosis (n = 290) to understand their preferences for the following self-test program attributes: delivery strategy (home delivery, friend delivery, clinic pickup), support (instructions only, during the test, 1 week after delivery), delivery speed (same day, next day, 3 days, 5 days), and price ($0, $20, $40, $50, $60). We analyzed choice data using random parameters to estimate preferences and marginal willingness to pay. BHMSM preferred free (b = 2.67) self-tests, home delivery (b = 0.60), and same-day (b = 0.24) or next-day (b = 0.35) delivery and had a preference against support 1 week after delivery (b=-0.19). Marginal willingness to pay estimates showed that BHMSM would pay $6.71 more for home delivery compared to clinic pickup and $9.10 more for same-day delivery and $10.96 more for next-day delivery compared to 5-day delivery. Based on these results, a self-test program with free rapid home delivery and support via instructions only or during the test would best address the preferences of BHMSM in the Southern US. Patients may also be willing to pay for rapid home delivery, highlighting the possibility of cost-sharing models for self-test programs.
