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

Negative stereotypes about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) hinder PrEP uptake among young men who have sex with men (YMSM). Prior research suggests community homophobia may be linked to negative PrEP attitudes. Conversely, individuals with high gay community attachments (GCA) may have more access to credible PrEP information/resources. Among 285 YMSM recruited online, we estimated structural equation models to test competing conceptual models that inform pathways from perceived stigmas, GCA, and negative PrEP stereotype endorsements to PrEP uptake. In Model A, perceived stigma was directly associated with PrEP uptake, partially mediated by stereotype endorsement (β =  - 0.05; 95% CI [- 0.09, - 0.01]) and GCA (β =  - 0.06; 95% CI [- 0.11, 0.02]). In Model B, perceived stigma was associated with PrEP uptake (β =  - 0.07; 95% CI [- 0.14, - 0.01]) through stereotype endorsement among high GCA YMSM. Complemented by anti-stigma initiatives, PrEP outreach for YMSM should utilize sex-positive messaging and disentangle negative PrEP stereotypes within gay-centric social spaces.
