HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Use Among Men Experiencing Incarceration in the United States: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Observational study in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective approach to preventing HIV acquisition and recommended for populations over-represented in carceral systems, given the overlap with populations disproportionately impacted by HIV. However, few studies have focused on PrEP initiation outcomes in a carceral setting to maximize public health impact.
settingThis study was conducted in a unified jail/prison system within the state of Rhode Island located in the United States.
methodsA prospective observational cohort of men initiating PrEP within a jail setting was enrolled in this trial. Men were referred by providers, staff, or after self-presenting for HIV preventive care, these individuals were offered enrollment in the study that involved evaluation for clinical PrEP eligibility, PrEP initiation while incarcerated, continuation upon community re-entry, and linkage to a community PrEP provider after release.
resultsA total of 100 men in the jail facility (eg, "intake") were enrolled in the cohort. Of the 100 men enrolled, 83% were determined to be PrEP eligible through standard clinical evaluation, 37% were prescribed PrEP, and 26% initiated PrEP while incarcerated. In total, 5% of enrolled individuals were linked successfully to PrEP care in the community.
conclusionOur findings suggest preliminary feasibility and acceptability of initiating PrEP within a jail setting. There were significant challenges across the PrEP care continuum that can be used to inform future studies and practice.
