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

Active visualization, the use of dynamic representation of internal processes, is associated with increased knowledge and adherence to ART among people living with HIV. The current pilot intervention study tested the effectiveness of an online visualization for HIV prevention among 146 at-risk youth. Youth were randomized to a standard PrEP briefing or an online visualization. PrEP knowledge, attitudes, and uptake were self-reported at baseline and 3-months. Knowledge of PrEP increased, but there were no changes in preferences or uptake. Active visualization delivered online may be a useful educational tool for PrEP but not for shifting youth's uptake.
