Optimizing HIV PrEP Persistence: Does Your Pharmacy Matter?
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Persistence to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is integral to preventing new HIV infections. Previous studies have shown real-world PrEP persistence is low and insight is needed into PrEP delivery strategies that improve persistence. This single-center, retrospective, cohort study measured persistence in patients filling PrEP through an integrated health-system specialty pharmacy (HSSP) compared to those filling at external pharmacies. The Kaplan-Meier estimates for persistence probability at 6, 12, and 18 months were 0.87 (95% CI 0.79-0.95), 0.75 (95% CI 0.66-0.86), and 0.64 (95% CI 0.53-0.76) for the HSSP cohort compared to 0.65 (95% CI 0.51-0.83), 0.41 (95% CI 0.28-0.62), and 0.32 (95% CI 0.2-0.53), respectively, for the non-HSSP cohort (log-rank p < 0.001, [Formula: see text] = 11.2). Cox PH modeling showed that patients using a non-HSSP were 2.7 times more likely to be non-persistent than HSSP patients (HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.6-4.7, p < 0.001, [Formula: see text] = 12.61), demonstrating patients were better maintained on PrEP therapy when their prescriptions were filled with the HSSP.
