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

The goal of this study was to develop and evaluate psychometric properties of the PrEP Sexual Expectancies Scale (PSEXS). The PSEXS represents a range of expectations for how PrEP use will affect one's sexual experience. The scale was developed to understand perceived reinforcements of PrEP use among men who have sex with men (MSM), including sexual risk-taking. The study builds upon Expectancy Theory to develop a measure of sex-related PrEP expectancies with a representative sample of 1155 MSM participants from Ukraine and 408 MSM participants from the U.S. Expectancy items represented two domains: increased sexual risk-taking and enhancement of sexual experience. Confirmatory analyses showed that a two-factor model provided a good fit to the data. The PSEXS scale had a high internal reliability in both samples (Ukraine α = 0.88, U.S. α = 0.83), and the identified factor structure explains a large amount of variance in both samples. Recent studies suggest that expectations of intimacy and better sexual experience can be a significant deciding factor for PrEP uptake. The PSEXS provides researchers with a useful measure for examining MSM's expectancy beliefs about the impact of PrEP use on their sexual life.
