Exploring Awareness, Perceptions, and Willingness to Use HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis: A Qualitative Study of Ghanaian Immigrants in the United States.
Article in AIDS patient care and STDs, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
HIV/AIDS disproportionately burdens African immigrants in the United States. Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective prevention tool for people at high HIV risk, yet uptake is low among racial and ethnic minorities-particularly immigrants. This study explores the awareness, perception, and willingness to use PrEP among Ghanaian immigrants in the United States. WhatsApp, a social media platform, was used to recruit and conduct semi-structured oral interviews with 40 Ghanaian immigrants in March 2020. Interview questions explored awareness of PrEP (whether the participants knew or had knowledge of PrEP before the study), perceptions of PrEP and PrEP users, and willingness to use PrEP. Interviews were audiorecorded, and transcribed. We used NVivo-12 Plus to analyze transcripts for emergent themes. Our sample consisted of Ghanaian adult immigrants (
