Factors influencing adolescent girls and young women's uptake of community-based PrEP services following home-based HIV testing in Eastern Cape, South Africa: 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. It is linked to trial NCT03977181 (Leveraging Community-based Platforms to Improve Access and Adherence to PrEP for Young Women in South Africa), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.

Abstract
Home-based service delivery has been used to improve access to HIV testing and antiretroviral initiation across sub-Saharan Africa, but it has yet to be leveraged to improve pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake. We interviewed 37 adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Eastern Cape, South Africa to explore why they chose to initiate PrEP or not following home-based HIV testing and referral for PrEP, and what influenced time to PrEP initiation. Participants reported that home visits provided a source of trusted information and a way to involve family members in their PrEP initiation decisions, motivating some to start PrEP. AGYW who initiated PrEP were more likely to qualitatively perceive themselves to be at high risk for HIV compared with those who never initiated PrEP. Integrating home-based HIV testing with PrEP education and referral may be a valuable way to reduce familial barriers and boost PrEP uptake among AGYW in South Africa. Trial registration: NCT03977181. Retrospectively registered on June 6, 2019.
