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

objectivesThe objective of this study is to identify enablers and barriers in access of HIV and sexual reproductive health (SRH) services among adolescent key populations (KP) in Kenya.

methodsA cross-sectional study using qualitative methods was conducted between October 2015 and April 2016. A total of 9 focus group discussions and 18 in-depth interviews were conducted with 108 adolescent KPs in Mombasa, Kisumu and Nairobi Counties of Kenya. Data were recorded digitally, translated, transcribed and coded in NVivo10 prior to analysis.

resultsAdolescent KPs preferred to access services in private health due to increased confidentiality, limited stigma and discrimination, access to adequate amount of condoms, friendly and fast-tracked services. Negative health provider attitudes made adolescent KPs dislike accessing health care in public health facilities. There was a lack of adolescent key population's policies and guidelines on HIV and SRH.

conclusionsThe study has demonstrated existing enablers and barriers to provision of HIV/SRH services for an at-risk population for which limited data exist. The results provide a basis for program redesign involving the adolescent KPs to minimize barriers for access to HIV/SRH services.
