Barriers and Facilitators to HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Uptake Among Men Who have Sex with Men Who Use Stimulants: A Qualitative Study.
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 16 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
The HIV epidemic disproportionately impacts men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly those who use stimulants. We explored barriers and facilitators to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake among this population. From June 2018 through February 2019, we conducted semi-structured interviews in Providence, Rhode Island, and New Haven, Connecticut, with 21 MSM who reported recent (past six months) stimulant use. We identified individual, interpersonal, and structural barriers to PrEP, including: (1) high awareness but mixed knowledge of PrEP, resulting in concerns about side effects and drug interactions; (2) interest that was partly determined by substance use and perceived HIV risk; (3) fragmented and constrained social networks not conducive to disseminating PrEP information; and (4) PrEP access, such as insurance coverage and cost. Our findings suggest potential approaches to increase PrEP uptake in this group, including promotion through mainstream and social media, clarifying misinformation, and facilitating increased access through structural interventions.
