Navigating the Viral Divide: Sexual and Gender Minority Community Perspectives on Treatment as Prevention.
Article in AIDS education and prevention : official publication of the International Society for AIDS Education, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Since it was established that HIV-positive individuals who maintain an undetectable viral load are unable to sexually transmit HIV (U=U), treatment as prevention (TasP) has become an important biomedical HIV prevention option. Many have remained optimistic that TasP, combined with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), will help close the "viral divide" between those living with and without HIV. This qualitative interview study of 62 sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals of mixed serostatuses explored community perspectives regarding TasP, including the meaning of undetectability and how U=U impacts understandings of serodifference. Five key themes emerged from interviews: (1) undetectable does not equal HIV-negative, (2) PrEP is more promoted than TasP, (3) TasP increases openness to serodifferent sex, (4) rejection of TasP absolutism, and (5) the importance of layering prevention strategies. These findings suggest that while TasP is helping to bridge the viral divide, serostatus distinctions remain prevalent and important to many SGM individuals.
