Understanding HIV Care Provider Attitudes Regarding Intentions to Prescribe PrEP.
Article in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03617874 (PC4PrEP), which is not on this map. Cited by 53 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.

Abstract
introductionPreexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a promising approach to reducing HIV incidence. So, garnering the support of HIV providers, who are most familiar with antiretrovirals and likely to encounter patients in HIV serodiscordant relationships, to scale-up PrEP implementation is essential. We sought to determine whether certain subgroups of HIV providers were more likely to intend to prescribe PrEP.
methodsSurveys were administered to HIV providers in Miami, Florida and Washington, District of Columbia. Composite scores were developed to measure PrEP knowledge, experience, and likelihood of prescribing. Latent class analysis was used to stratify provider attitudes toward PrEP.
resultsAmong 142 HIV providers, 73.2% had cared for more than 20 HIV-infected patients in the previous 3 months; 17% had ever prescribed PrEP. Latent class analysis identified 2 classes of providers (entropy, 0.904); class 1 (n = 95) found PrEP less effective and perceived barriers to prescribing it; class 2 (n = 47) perceived PrEP as moderately effective and perceived fewer barriers to prescribing it. Compared with class 2, class 1 had significantly less experience with PrEP delivery (t(22.7) = 2.88, P = 0.009) and was significantly less likely to intend to prescribe to patients with multiple sex partners (20% vs. 43%, P = 0.04) and those with a drug use history (7% vs. 24%, P = 0.001).
conclusionsAlthough most HIV providers found PrEP to be effective, those considering it less effective had limited knowledge and experience with PrEP and had lesser intentions to prescribe. Provider training regarding whom should receive PrEP and addressing potential barriers to PrEP provision are needed if this HIV prevention method is to be optimized.
