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

Young, Black, gay bisexual or other MSM are significantly less likely to use PrEP than their White counterparts. These disparities may be due, in part, to medical mistrust and mistreatment within the healthcare system. This study aimed to uncover how young Black MSM's perceptions of, and experiences with, health care contribute to low engagement in the healthcare system and low PrEP utilization. In late 2017 and early 2018, we conducted six focus groups with 44 Black MSM ages 16-25 in Milwaukee. Focus group topics included participants' knowledge and perceptions of PrEP, perceptions and stereotypes about PrEP users, and general healthcare utilization patterns and behaviors. Focus group transcripts were transcribed verbatim and coded using MAXQDA qualitative analysis software. We used a team-based approach to thematic content analysis to understand how racism and homonegativity affected healthcare access and experiences. Results from this study help to characterize what contributes to mistrust of the healthcare system and healthcare providers to negatively affect PrEP use among young Black MSM. Focus group discussions revealed how previous and anticipated negative interactions with physicians and skepticism about the healthcare system have alienated young Black MSM from the health care system and created significant barriers to PrEP. Efforts to increase PrEP uptake and must address negative and discriminatory interactions with providers and the healthcare system.
