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

Although much progress has been made in reducing the public health burden of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), since its emergence in the 1980s (largely due to the large-scale use and availability of potent antiviral therapy, improved diagnostic and intervention and mitigation measures), HIV remains an important public health challenge globally, including in the United States. This study is based on the use of mathematical modeling approaches to assess the population-level impact of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), voluntary testing (to detect undetected HIV-infected individuals), and changes in human behavior (with respect to risk structure), on the spread and control of HIV/AIDS in an MSM (men-who-have sex-with-men) population. Specifically, a novel two-group mathematical model, which stratifies the total MSM population based on risk (low or high) of acquisition of HIV infection, is formulated. The model undergoes a PrEP-induced backward bifurcation when the
