Initiating pre-exposure prophylaxis in the inpatient setting: a quality improvement project.
Article in BMJ open quality, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Many patients who are at high risk of HIV transmission do not receive pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). HIV risk counselling and PrEP initiation have historically been limited to outpatient settings. Here we describe a novel quality improvement project at San Francisco's main safety-net hospital designed to incorporate universal screening for active HIV risk factors and PrEP initiation into standard inpatient care. Interventions included education sessions and dissemination of clinical materials to increase providers' knowledge and comfort with HIV risk screening, prevention counselling and prescribing PrEP. We implemented new workflows on the inpatient medicine service to encourage providers to universally screen all patients at the time of admission and initiate PrEP for appropriate patients during their hospitalisation. Over the first 9 months of the initiative, 14 inpatients were started on PrEP during their admission. As PrEP was initiated in particularly vulnerable patients, using inpatient admissions to engage at-risk patients in HIV prevention may help to reduce disparities in HIV outcomes.
