Awareness and use of nonoccupational HIV post-exposure prophylaxis and factors associated with awareness among MSM in Beijing, China.

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
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
backgroundHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) sexual transmission among men who have sex with men (MSM) has increased markedly in Beijing, China, during the past decade. Nonoccupational HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) is a highly efficacious biomedical prevention strategy that significantly reduces HIV-transmission risk. This study examined nPEP awareness among MSM and the factors influencing it.
methodsConsecutive, cross-sectional MSM surveys were conducted from April to August of 2018 and 2019. Demographic data as well as that on behavior and awareness regarding nPEP was collected. Factors influencing nPEP awareness were assessed using univariate and multivariable logistic regression.
resultsThere were 1,202 eligible responders recruited. Of the responders, 42.5% had nPEP awareness, and 59.9% expressed interest in receiving nPEP in the future, if required. Greater odds of nPEP awareness were associated with younger age, higher education level (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 4.011, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.834-5.678, P<0.001), higher income, use of the Internet to meet sexual partners (aOR: 2.016, 95% CI: 1.481-2.744, P<0.001), greater HIV-related knowledge (aOR: 3.817, 95% CI: 1.845-7.899, p<0.001), HIV testing (aOR: 2.584, 95% CI: 1.874-3.563, p<0.001), and sexually transmitted infections (aOR: 1.736, 95% CI: 1.174-2.569, P = 0.006). Lower odds of nPEP awareness were associated with greater stigma score (aOR: 0.804, 95% CI: 0.713-0.906, P<0.001).
conclusionsThe findings indicate suboptimal awareness and low utilization of nPEP in Beijing and highlight nPEP inequities among MSM with stigma. Strengthening the training of health service providers and peer educators in reducing stigma and disseminating nPEP knowledge is imperative.
