Monitoring HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis Use Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Washington State: Findings From an Internet-Based Survey.
Article in Sexually transmitted diseases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundMany state and local health departments now promote and support the use of HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), yet monitoring use of the intervention at the population level remains challenging.
methodsWe report the results of an online survey designed to measure PrEP use among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Washington State. Data on the proportion of men with indications for PrEP based on state guidelines and levels of awareness, interest, and use of PrEP are presented for 1080 cisgender male respondents who completed the survey between January 1 and February 28, 2017. We conducted bivariate and multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with current PrEP use. To examine patterns of discontinuation, we conducted Cox proportional hazards regression and fit a Kaplan-Meier curve to reported data on time on PrEP.
resultsEighty percent of respondents had heard of PrEP, 19% reported current use, and 36% of men who had never used PrEP wanted to start taking it. Among MSM for whom state guidelines recommend PrEP, 31% were taking it. In multivariable analysis, current PrEP use was associated with older age, higher education, and meeting indications for PrEP use. Our data suggest that 20% of PrEP users discontinue within 12 months, and men with lower educational attainment were more likely to discontinue.
conclusionsDespite high levels of use, there is significant unmet need for PrEP in Washington. Our experience indicates that Internet surveys are feasible and informative for monitoring PrEP use in MSM.
