Acceptance of HIV Index Case Testing and Associated Factors Among People Living with HIV and on Anti-Retroviral Therapy in Ethiopia: Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care. 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
BackgroundHIV index case testing is a successful early detection and prevention technique that includes providing HIV testing to the biological children and sexual partners of individuals living with HIV. There is inconsistent data about acceptance of HIV index testing in Ethiopia.MethodsA systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted under the guidelines of PRISMA 2020. We searched Google Scholar, Hinari, Science Direct, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library. A total of 3952 participants from 11 cross-sectional studies were included. A random-effects model was used in STATA 17 for analysis. Subgroup, sensitivity, and meta-regression analyses were used to investigate heterogeneity.ResultsPooled acceptance rate was 68.9% (95% CI: 57.6-80.2). Acceptance was higher among those who lived in an urban area, disclosed their HIV status, and had been on ART for more than a year.ConclusionNearly 70% of ART patients in Ethiopia agree to undergo index testing.
