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

introductionThe Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) has set a goal to eliminate AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 and the World Health Organization emphasized pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as a crucial element. Despite the lack of a specific role for general practitioners (GPs) in PrEP care, GPs could play a crucial role in the follow-up but this is still uncommon. Above, GPs estimate their knowledge about PrEP as low.

objectivesThis study seeks to understand the knowledge of GPs regarding PrEP care. Through online e-learning, we aimed to enhance our knowledge of PrEP care.

methodsFirstly, we assessed general knowledge about the PrEP of GPs. Secondly, we investigated the impact of e-learning on knowledge of PrEP care among GPs. We developed a multiple-choice questionnaire to evaluate self-assessed knowledge and knowledge about PrEP. One group of participants completed an e-learning module and took a pre- and post-test to assess changes in knowledge. Another group completed the questionnaire without e-learning.

resultsSeventy-two participants completed the survey. Finally, 18 participants successfully completed the e-learning module. Nineteen percent (

conclusionsGP generally scored low on knowledge covering different aspects of PrEP. However, after completing an e-learning module, there was a significant increase in the average test scores. These findings highlight the potential efficacy of targeted educational interventions in enhancing the understanding of PrEP among GPs.
