Perspectives of Young Men Who Have Sex with Men on PrEP Adherence and Peer Navigation: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Archives of sexual behavior, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
HIV incidence is disproportionately high among young cisgender men who have sex with men (YMSM), but YMSM are less likely than adults to use HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Among YMSM living with HIV, peer navigation programs have been effective in linkage to care and increasing medication adherence; such programs may aid HIV-uninfected YMSM in overcoming barriers to engagement in PrEP care. We conducted 32 semi-structured qualitative interviews at a community health center in Massachusetts, USA, specializing in sexual and gender minority health with four sub-groups of YMSM who: (1) had never discussed PrEP with a medical provider, (2) had discussed PrEP with a medical provider but declined a prescription, (3) were prescribed PrEP and have sub-optimal adherence (taking fewer than 4 pills per week), and (4) were prescribed PrEP and were optimally adherent. Domains addressed in the interviews included knowledge of PrEP and HIV prevention, barriers and facilitators to PrEP adherence, and attitudes toward peer navigation for PrEP. Interviews were transcribed and coded using thematic analysis methodology. Multiple themes emerged from the interviews, including finding that perceived costs, anticipated stigma, sexual activity, and relationship status influence PrEP uptake and adherence; establishing pill-taking routines is an important adherence facilitator; and peer navigators could offer benefits for PrEP adherence.
