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.

Abstract

The role of pharmacists in the treatment of HIV has expanded beyond medication dispensing to include a host of cost-effective, evidence-based strategies across the HIV prevention and care continuums. However, wide-scale adoption of pharmacy-based HIV prevention and treatment interventions has been slow. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the evidence on the role of pharmacists across the HIV prevention and care continuums. Thirty-two studies were identified, most of which provided evidence of feasibility of HIV testing and efficacy of non-prescription syringe sale services in pharmacies. However, only two studies implemented an experimental design to rigorously test pharmacy-based strategies. Notably, no pharmacy-based strategies have specifically targeted the highest HIV risk populations such as black and Latinx men who have sex with men, women, or trans populations. Efficacy trials and effectiveness studies should rigorously test existing pharmacy-based strategies to build greater support for wide-scale adoption and implementation. Moreover, in order to integrate pharmacies into the strategy to end the HIV epidemic, studies are needed to ensure that pharmacy-based HIV prevention and treatment services can reach the highest risk populations.
