Elevated HIV Prevalence and Correlates of PrEP Use Among a Community Sample of Black Men Who Have Sex With Men.
Article in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 2 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.
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
backgroundThe HIV epidemic among black men who have sex with men (BMSM) demands urgent public health attention. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly efficacious option for preventing HIV, but characteristics of PrEP use among community samples of BMSM are not well-understood.
methodsA serial cross-sectional survey assessment (N = 4184 BMSM reporting HIV-negative/unsure status) and HIV testing were conducted at Black Gay Pride events in 6 US cities in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017.
resultsHIV prevalence was higher among BMSM self-reporting current PrEP use (1 of 3 participants) than BMSM not self-reporting current PrEP use (1 of 5 participants) [32.3%, N = 103/319 vs. 20.0%, N = 639/3,193, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.68, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.31 to 2.15]. BMSM reporting current PrEP use (N = 380) were more likely to report having a greater number of male sex partners (aOR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.03), a sexually transmitted infection diagnosis (aOR = 2.44, 95% CI: 1.88 to 3.16), and stimulant drug use (aOR = 2.05, 95% CI, 1.21 to 3.47) when compared with BMSM not reporting current PrEP use (N = 3804). PrEP use increased from 4.7% (2014) to 15.5% (2017) (aOR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.13 to 1.25). Among PrEP users, inability to afford health care coverage was associated with testing HIV-positive (aOR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.24 to 3.56).
conclusionsThe high prevalence of HIV infection among BMSM reporting PrEP use is concerning. It does not, however, challenge the efficacy of PrEP itself but rather the uptake of the surrounding preventative package including behavioral risk reduction support, sexually transmitted infection treatment, and medication adherence counseling. Further research to understand barriers to fully effective PrEP is needed to guide operational and behavioral interventions that close the gap on incident infection.
