The Influencing Factors of HIV-Preventive Behavior Based on Health Belief Model among HIV-Negative MSMs in Western China: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis.

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
(1) Background: Men who have sex with other men (MSMs) are at high risk of being infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in western China. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an efficient way to prevent HIV transmission. However, adherence is the most vital determinant factor affecting PrEP effectiveness. We conducted a study based on the Health Belief Model to explore factors that predict adherence to PrEP among a cohort of 689 MSMs in western China. (2) Methods: We assessed perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy, cues to action, and HIV-preventive behavior through a cross-sectional survey. (3) Results: PrEP self-efficacy was directly associated with PrEP behaviors (β = 0.221, p < 0.001), cues to action were directly associated with PrEP behaviors (β = 0.112, p < 0.001), perceived benefits were directly associated with PrEP behaviors (β = 0.101, p < 0.001), and perceived susceptibility was directly associated with PrEP behaviors (β = 0.117, p = 0.043). (4) Conclusion: Medication self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility, and cue to action structures are predictors of the MSMs’ HIV-preventive behavior in western China. These results will provide theoretical plans for promoting PrEP adherence in MSMs.
