Assessing HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Uptake and Retention Amongst Young Females in Gauteng Province.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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.
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
Although roll-out of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has been reported to have changed contexts of HIV risk in areas where it was well-implemented. The rate of its uptake and retention amongst young females has not been described in Gauteng Province. This paper aimed at assessing PrEP uptake and retention among young females in Gauteng Province. Total of young females who tested HIV across five clinics from 01/January/2017 to 31/December/2020 was 19,671 with 17,937 tested HIV negative. Of the HIV tested negative, PrEP was initiated to 1307 (7%). The analysis revealed that 27% of young females returned for their first follow up visit after PrEP initiation, while third month declined to 14%, fourth month to 11%, and fifth month to 3%, sixth month to 2% and seventh month at 1% and from the eighth month, the rate of follow up was 0%. Uptake and retention of PrEP was low among young females as measured against the total tested HIV negative.
