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

introductionWe assessed awareness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among HIV-negative Black and Latinx persons living in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Area.

methodsUsing chi-square and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, we analyzed data from the 2016 heterosexual cycle of the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system to assess how sociodemographic factors, health care utilization, and risk behaviors affected PrEP awareness.

resultsParticipants (n = 472) were predominately Black, non-Hispanic (88.1%) with a median age of 41.5 years. Most participants reported having a usual source of medical care (92.1%) and seeing a medical provider within 12 months (87.0%). However, PrEP awareness was low in this sample (4.9%) and was lower among those who had a medical visit compared with those who had not ( P < .01).

conclusionCurrent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention clinical guidelines suggest that providers counsel high-risk patients about PrEP. Our data suggest that this is not happening with people of color in Philadelphia. Interventions targeting medical providers working with HIV-risk people of color may be appropriate.
