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

HIV incidence is declining globally, but around half of all new infections are in sub-Saharan Africa-where adolescent girls and young women bear a disproportionate burden of new infections. Those who sell sex are at particularly high risk. Despite declining incidence rates and availability of effective biomedical prevention tools, we are not on track, globally or in Africa, to achieve UNAIDS 2025 prevention targets. For those at risk, interventions that strengthen their motivation, capabilities and access to all available HIV prevention technologies are critical-for adolescent girls and women in particular, but also for epidemic control more broadly. Exciting possibilities for scaling up new and highly effective prevention technologies are close, but delivery, implementation and financing models need to be developed and urgently evaluated, in partnership with communities, or these opportunities may be lost. Here, we discuss the evolving landscape of biomedical prevention technologies for women in Africa, their implementation and financing, as well as priorities for HIV prevention research in this setting.
