Ring-ing in the Future: Participant and Male Partner Perspectives Regarding Future Use of the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring for HIV Prevention.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Women account for a disproportionate percentage of new HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa indicating a need for female-initiated HIV prevention options congruent with their lifestyles. The dapivirine vaginal ring for HIV prevention is one such option. We explored the interest of women, who used this ring during the Microbicide Trials Network's ASPIRE and HOPE studies, in using the ring post-licensure and what they perceived as important considerations for future use. We also explored perspectives of HOPE participants' male partners on their involvement in their partners' future ring use. Women appeared keen to use the ring in the future and expressed desires for easy access, support for both ongoing and new users and intense community engagement. In parallel, male partners indicated high levels of interest in supporting their partners' ring use and being involved in ring use decision making. These data offer important insights for ring rollout planning and engagement activities.
