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

Individuals who are at high risk of contracting HIV should have equitable access to preventive measures, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We conducted a retrospective data extract from the electronic medical records of federally-qualified health centers in New York City from 2016 to 2018. Descriptive statistics are presented, stratified by those who have been prescribed PrEP and those who have not. We created a variable called "ever-female" which includes individuals assigned female at birth or who have ever identified as female. A chi-square test was performed to determine the statistical significance between variables as p < .05. A total of 9659 patients met inclusion criteria for the study. Patients who were prescribed PrEP were significantly associated with being white and never-female, with 38.2% of those prescribed PrEP identifying as white and 83.8% of those prescribed PrEP categorized as never-female. Patients of trans experience were 9.6% of the PrEP cohort and 1.5% of the never PrEP cohort (p < .001). Patients identifying as Black/African American made up 19.8% of patients prescribed PrEP and 49.8% of those never prescribed PrEP (p < .001). Patients with the lowest reported income composed 48.4% of those prescribed PrEP compared to 69.3% of patients who were never prescribed PrEP (p < .001). These findings indicate that key demographic categories may not be accessing PrEP as much as would be expected for their level of risk. Barriers to access of PrEP for women and other at-risk, under-represented populations should be further studied.
