Development of a City-wide Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation Toolkit for People Newly Diagnosed With HIV in the Southern United States.

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
Background: Rapid antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation, in which individuals with HIV start treatment within days of diagnosis, is a key component of the United States (US) Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative. The Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area ranks second in the US for HIV incidence, yet only ∼60% of individuals link to treatment within 1 month of diagnosis. This study aimed to identify barriers and strategies for implementing rapid ART initiation in Memphis. Methods: From August to December 2022, we conducted process mapping guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to outline the steps from 3 HIV testing sites to ART prescription at 3 Ryan White-funded clinics in Memphis, Tennessee. We used modified conjoint analyses to prioritize barriers and identify strategies for improving rapid ART implementation, focusing on the importance and feasibility of changes. Findings: Prioritized barriers included intersectional stigma and a lack of access to centralized information about the rapid ART program, branding and logo development, inter- and intra-organizational networking and communication, testing and treatment resources (HIV testing kits and ART starter packs), rapid ART knowledge, and organizational champions. Strategies to address these barriers were compiled into a local rapid ART toolkit. Conclusions: We identified modifiable systemic barriers to rapid ART initiation in Memphis, a community disproportionately affected by HIV. The strategies developed to address these barriers informed the creation of a locally relevant rapid ART toolkit for future evaluation. These methods could be applied in other high-burden areas seeking to develop local rapid ART models.
