1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIncreasingly, young women living with perinatally acquired HIV (YWLPaHIV) have transitioned from paediatric to adult services. There remains a paucity of data on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of YWLPaHIV and their access to youth-friendly care. Amidst healthcare changes due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, we explored SRH needs of a cohort of YWLPaHIV.

methodsEvaluation of SRH needs of YWLPaHIV attending a UK NHS-youth HIV service with data collected from patient records and self-reported questionnaires amongst women attending between July and November 2020 following easing of the first lockdown and reintroduction of in-person appointments.

results71 of 112 YWLPaHIV registered at the clinic completed questionnaires during the study period and were included in the analysis. Median age was 23 y (IQR 21-27, range 18-36). 51/71(72%) reported coitarche, average age 17.6 y (IQR 16-18, range 14-24). 24 women reported 47 pregnancies resulting in 16 (34%) HIV-negative live-births, 19 (40%) terminations, 9(19%) miscarriages, with 3 pregnancies ongoing. 31/48(65%) sexually active women reported current contraception: 10 (32%) condoms, 19 (62%) long-acting, and 3(10%) oral contraceptive pill. 18/51(35%) reported a previous sexually transmitted infection; human papillomavirus (HPV) (11),

conclusionHigh rates of unplanned pregnancy, STIs and cervical abnormalities highlight the continuing SRH needs of YWLPaHIV and requirement for open access to integrated HIV/SRH services despite pandemic restrictions.
