Primary Care Provider HIV PrEP Knowledge, Attitudes, and Prescribing Habits: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Late Adopters in Rural and Suburban Practice.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
objectivePre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a recommended strategy for HIV prevention, yet PrEP prescribing rates in primary care remain low. The aim of this study was to further describe the current knowledge, attitudes, and prescribing behaviors of HIV PrEP in primary care providers with a focus on the perceived barriers and facilitators to PrEP prescribing.
methodsCross-sectional survey of primary care providers at rural and suburban practices in a large academic institution.
resultsSurvey response rate was 48.0% (n = 134). Most respondents (96.3%) reported little clinical experience in care of persons living with HIV. Respondents self-reported positive attitudes and high overall knowledge of PrEP with low prescribing rates and less comfort with lab testing. More respondents are asked about PrEP by patients (54%) than start conversations about PrEP with patients (39%). Family Physicians and providers 5 to 10 years from completion of training overall reported higher knowledge, attitudes and prescribing behaviors. Lack of PrEP education was identified as the greatest barrier and an electronic medical record order set as the greatest facilitator to prescribing PrEP.
conclusionsWith the goal to end the HIV epidemic, PrEP provision in nonurban primary care settings may be an important strategy for increased access to PrEP and reduced HIV transmission. This study, which includes a variety of providers that possess high knowledge, yet low experience prescribing PrEP, likely demonstrates the limitations of interventions which solely focus on provider education. System-based practice solutions, such as order sets, may be needed to target infrequent prescribers of PrEP.
