Ethical issues in establishing the efficacy and safety of long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention: the HPTN 083 trial.
Review in The lancet. HIV, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Two multinational clinical trials have shown safety and efficacy of long-acting injectable cabotegravir for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). These results will alter the landscape of HIV prevention and related research. Nevertheless, designing and conducting this research involved several ethical issues. This Viewpoint describes how we managed ethical issues over the duration of one of these trials (HPTN 083). Specifically, we discuss the rationale for pursuing a long-acting injectable agent in the presence of effective oral PrEP, trial design choices, site selection and local standards of prevention, data monitoring and early stopping, effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, post-trial access, and assessment of long-term safety.
