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
objectiveThe use of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV infection is significantly low among Black sexual minority men (BSMM), although this group experiences the greatest HIV burden in the United States. One contextual factor suggested to impact BSMM's HIV prevention efforts is the concern about, and adherence to, cultural conceptions and expectations of masculinity. The present study sought to better understand the association between masculinity and PrEP uptake by examining associations between gender-relevant beliefs and perceptions, and intentions to initiate PrEP among a sample of BSMM residing in the U.S. South.

resultsPrecarious manhood beliefs were associated with greater intention to initiate PrEP; however, the indirect path of this association through attitudes toward PrEP was associated with lower intentions to initiate PrEP. In a hierarchical regression model, projected perceptions of masculinity were associated with intentions to initiate PrEP over and above other factors considered. Specifically, believing that one will be perceived as less masculine for seeking PrEP was associated with lower intentions to initiate PrEP.
conclusionsFindings suggest that BSMM's construal of masculinity in relation to HIV and PrEP is associated with intentions to initiate PrEP. Implications for increasing PrEP uptake among BSMM are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
