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

African American faith institutions can play a key role in increasing HIV education and testing in communities disproportionately burdened by HIV. This focus group study explored church participant perspectives of a religiously tailored HIV education and testing intervention implemented through a clustered, randomized controlled trial with 14 African American churches in Kansas City. Focus group participants from intervention churches emphasized the importance of churches providing access to HIV screening/education and support for people with HIV. They noted that pastors' involvement (e.g., integrating messages into sermons, publicly getting tested) encouraged others to get tested. TIPS materials were seen as easy to understand, and the intervention fostered more HIV discussions and partnerships with public health organizations. Challenges included time demands and limited church staff. Participants recommended stronger connections among intervention churches for support and idea sharing. Overall, religiously tailored HIV education and testing interventions are highly acceptable when supported by trusted faith and public health partnerships.
