1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundUnderutilization of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in the Southern United States (US) is well-documented. Urgent care (UC) centers are positioned as communityfacing access points to PrEP, but the feasibility of integrating PrEP services into this setting is unclear. We conducted a survey of UC clinicians in the Southern US to better understand their perceptions of the feasibility of providing PrEP in their practice setting.

objectiveThe study aims to determine the feasibility and acceptability of providing PrEP services in the UC setting through a cross-sectional survey of UC clinicians.

methodsWe conducted a 48-item cross-sectional survey of UC clinicians in the Southern US, between July and September 2020. The survey was distributed through the Urgent Care Association (UCA) and American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine (AAUCM) professional listservs as well as directly to publicly listed e-mail addresses.

resultsEighty-two clinicians responded to the survey. Most clinicians had familiarity with PrEP (97%). All respondents rated PrEP as an effective way to prevent HIV. However, less than half felt UC facilities were an appropriate place to prescribe PrEP. Few respondents (8%) expressed doubts that expansion of PrEP access would decrease the incidence of HIV in their community.

conclusionThese findings show UC clinicians are familiar with PrEP, and many believe it would benefit their patients; however, provider opinions on the appropriateness of providing PrEP in the UC setting differ. Further studies on PrEP implementation in UC centers are needed.
