Awareness and Interest in HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Among Street-Based Female Sex Workers: Results from a US Context.
Article in AIDS patient care and STDs, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers.
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
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has the potential to be an empowering HIV prevention tool among female sex workers (FSW), yet little is known about PrEP awareness and interest in this population. Sex workers and Police Promoting Health in Risky Environments (SAPPHIRE) is a prospective cohort study of street-based FSW in Baltimore, MD. A cross-sectional analysis explored awareness and interest in PrEP among HIV-negative FSW. Multivariable Poisson regressions modeled associations between individual, interpersonal, and structural variables and PrEP awareness and interest. Of n = 232 FSW, 66% were white, half were less than 35 years old, 59% injected drugs daily, and 66% sold sex daily. Only 21% of FSW were aware of PrEP, though 74% were interested. PrEP awareness was associated with experiencing client condom coercion [adjusted incidence rate ratio (aIRR) = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.28-0.90] and condomless sex with an intimate partner (aIRR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.30-0.98). PrEP interest was associated with perceiving PrEP as "very easy" to take (aIRR = 1.91, 95% CI: 1.49-2.45) and moving to an unfamiliar geographic area to sell sex (aIRR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.04-1.39). Women who had a current gonorrhea or chlamydia infection were less likely to be interested in PrEP (aIRR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.59-0.95). Though PrEP awareness among FSW is low, there are FSW who are significantly more likely to express interest in PrEP and outreach efforts should target these women. Results suggest that women-controlled HIV prevention methods may be important for reducing incidence among FSW.
