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

backgroundWe assessed the willingness of female students at a Ugandan public university to use long-acting Cabotegravir (CAB-LA) for HIV prevention, given their high prevalence of HIV risk behaviours.

methodsUsing an online questionnaire, this cross-sectional study surveyed 346 female undergraduate students aged 18-25. Factors influencing their willingness were analysed with modified Poisson regression and robust standard errors.

resultsMore than half, 56.7% (95% CI: 51.4 to 61.8), were willing to use CAB-LA. Willingness was significantly associated with being sexually active in the past 3 months, using alcohol in the past 6 months, or being in the 4th year of study compared to the 1st year.

conclusionEducational initiatives on innovative HIV prevention strategies, such as CAB-LA, should be introduced early in university students' studies to increase awareness and acceptance.
