Usabilidade de autoteste de antígeno para COVID-19: fatores associados e desafios relatados.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 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
objectivesto assess the usability of a COVID-19 antigen self-test and identify factors associated with the perceived ease of use.
methodscross-sectional study conducted in São Paulo (SP), Brazil, from June to July 2023, with 90 participants who used the self-test and completed a structured questionnaire. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed.
resultsonly 33 participants (36.7%) reported high usability. Having an income above two minimum wages was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of rating the test as easy to use (ORa = 1.92; 95% CI: 1.15-5.67; p = 0.009). The main difficulties involved understanding the instructions (70%) and handling components such as the swab and buffer (45%).
conclusionsalthough promising for expanding access to diagnosis, the self-test faces barriers related to understanding and handling, especially among lower-income individuals. These findings reinforce the importance of clear instructions and technological adaptations tailored to users' profiles.
