Examining Perceptions Among Healthcare Providers on Their Awareness of and Experience with Prescribing and/or Referring Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis to Eligible Cisgender Black Female Patients: A Qualitative Inquiry.
Observational study in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Prescriptions for and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), an available and accessible HIV prevention strategy, remain low among cisgender Black women (CBW). Given PrEP is only available through a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider (HCP), there is a need to identify factors associated with HCP's prescribing and/or referring PrEP to CBW. Qualitative methods (in-depth interviews) were used to examine factors shaping beliefs and behaviors among 12 HCPs that impact their willingness to prescribe or refer PrEP to CBW. Seven primary themes were identified during a thematic data analysis. The themes with the highest frequency of codes (fc) were the provider's experience discussing sexual health (fc = 284), the provider approach to patient engagement (fc = 240), provider knowledge of PrEP (fc = 158), and the provider approach to determining PrEP eligibility (fc = 141). Findings indicate that prescribing and referral behaviors among HCPs can be influenced by their knowledge of PrEP; perceptions about PrEP for patients; comfort level in engaging/communicating with patients about PrEP; awareness of PrEP resources needed to improve PrEP access among patients; and patient-provider communication relative to sexual health, HIV vulnerability, and PrEP eligibility. Study findings illuminate how usual care practices contribute to gaps in PrEP access among CBW and highlight areas for intervention.
