Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Recent Adherence With Real-Time Adherence Feedback and Partner Human Immunodeficiency Virus Self-Testing: A Pilot Trial Among Postpartum Women.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
backgroundPre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is safe and effective in postpartum women. Human immunodeficiency virus self-testing (HIVST) for male partners combined with biofeedback counseling through real-time adherence measures may improve PrEP use among postpartum women.
methodsBetween August 2020 and April 2021, we randomized postpartum women who initiated PrEP in pregnancy 1:1 to the intervention group (HIVST + biofeedback counseling after urine tenofovir test) or to standard of care ([SOC] facility-based human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] tests and routine counseling without biofeedback). The outcomes of interest were PrEP adherence in the past 48-72 hours via urine tenofovir tests and partner HIV testing, measured 1-month after randomization. Secondary outcomes included the proportion of partners who tested for HIV and the discrepancy between self-reported PrEP adherence and urine tenofovir result.
resultsWe enrolled 106 women (median age = 26 years). At enrollment, 72% of women reported missing <2 doses in the past 7 days; 36% of women had tenofovir present in her urine. One month after enrollment, 62% (n = 33) of women in the intervention arm had tenofovir present in their urine compared to 34% (n = 18) in SOC (risk ratio [RR] = 1.83; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.19-2.82;
conclusionsThe HIVST for partners and biofeedback counseling increased levels of recent PrEP adherence, pointing to the importance of these interventions to support PrEP use in this population.
