Preparing for future European efficacy trials of interventions to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections: Lessons on willingness to participate and barriers to participation from ten German clinics serving behaviorally vulnerable men who have sex with men.

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
Future efficacy testing of interventions to prevent HIV or other infections will require engagement of vulnerable populations. We characterized willingness to participate in a future HIV vaccine trial and barriers to participation among men who have sex with men in a 12-month German cohort study. Among 1015 participants at enrollment, 604 (60%) reported willingness, 60 (6%) were unwilling, 351 (35%) were unsure or refused to answer. Among those unwilling, the primary reason was fear of getting HIV. Among those willing, reasons included protection against HIV and furthering scientific knowledge. In a multivariable logistic regression model, higher odds of willingness to participate were seen among participants at the 12-month visit (aOR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.04-1.15) and with prior knowledge of HIV vaccine research (aOR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.06-1.23). Educating potential participants about vaccine research may facilitate recruitment and participation in future trials of HIV vaccine candidates and other prevention interventions.
