Healthcare provider knowledge and attitudes about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in pregnancy in Cape Town, South Africa.
Article in AIDS care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03902418 (Evaluation of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in pregnancy can reduce HIV incidence and vertical transmission. Healthcare providers (HCPs) play a critical role in delivering PrEP in antenatal care but little is known about HCP knowledge and attitudes about PrEP in pregnancy. We conducted a qualitative study in two healthcare facilities to assess HCPs' PrEP knowledge and perspectives relating to HIV prevention in pregnant women. Between January-March'19, we administered in-depth interviews among antenatal HCPs. We utilized a constant comparison approach to identify major qualitative findings. We enrolled 35 female HCPs (median age=43yrs. Fewer than half of HCPs had heard of PrEP before. Of those who had heard of PrEP, most felt that it was safe to take during pregnancy. Most HCPs described inaccurate PrEP knowledge regarding effectiveness, and most who knew about PrEP lacked clinical detail. HCPs highlighted important potential barriers to maternal PrEP use including: fear that PrEP may be unsafe, or belief that women must talk to partners/parents before initiating PrEP. Facilitators include good knowledge about serodiscordancy and vulnerability to seroconversion in pregnancy and desire to help women gain control overHIV prevention. We recommend integrating PrEP training into HIV testing and PMTCT nurse training to improve counseling and maternal PrEP delivery.
