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

backgroundLong-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA), approved in 2021, is a more effective HIV prevention method than daily oral PrEP. CAB-LA expansion addresses key HIV prevention gaps, especially in the Southern United States (U.S.), to support national Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) goals. However, complex implementation requirements hinder CAB-LA expansion, highlighting the need for real-world data to guide effective and equitable scale-up.

objectiveDescribe the implementation and early outcomes of implementing CAB-LA in a large safety-net primary care center in the Southern U.S.

designWe described the integration of CAB-LA into an existing oral PrEP program. We manually abstracted individual sociodemographic and clinical data. We developed a CAB-LA care continuum and reported early outcomes among CAB-LA initiators.

participantsIndividuals referred to the CAB-LA program from 12/1/2022 to 8/1/2023, with outcomes assessed through 12/1/2023. MAIN MEASURES: Development of a CAB-LA care continuum from linkage, eligibility assessment, program enrollment, initiation, and persistence. We reported the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of individuals referred for and initiated on CAB-LA, the total number and timing of injections administered, self-reported adverse events, CAB-LA discontinuations, and HIV seroconversions. KEY

resultsIntegration of CAB-LA into an existing oral PrEP program required multidisciplinary team adaptation, protocol development for drug procurement and care coordination, and adapting an existing population health registry to the CAB-LA workflow to monitor and track individuals. Of 221 referred individuals, 77 (35%) initiated CAB-LA. Initiation barriers included program intake scheduling delays (29%), individuals declining CAB-LA (19%), and delayed medication procurement (16%). Among CAB-LA initiators, 275 injections were administered, 94% were administered on time, six individuals (8%) reported adverse effects, and eight (10%) discontinued CAB-LA. No HIV seroconversions occurred.

conclusionsWe successfully implemented a CAB-LA PrEP program in a safety-net primary care center in the U.S. South, using an approach designed to address structural barriers to PrEP uptake and persistence.
