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

backgroundHIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use is low among Southern, Black cis-gender women (CGW). Gynecology clinics are well-positioned to integrate PrEP services as a component of sexual and reproductive healthcare for CGW.

objectivesIdentify key determinants to PrEP implementation into routine gynecologic care.

designQualitative, in-depth interviews (IDIs).

methodsWe conducted IDIs with key informants (i.e., physicians, nurses, medical assistants) and focus group discussions (FGDs) with patients accessing care in a gynecology clinic serving under- and uninsured women in Alabama. IDIs explored individual-, setting-, and process-level factors that may impact PrEP care implementation in a clinic serving approximately 3000 women yearly, 64% of whom are Black women.

resultsTen key informants participated in individual IDIs (median age 33.5, range 24-58 years, 80% female); 20 women participated in either 1 of 4 FGDs (

conclusionDiscussions around sexual health and STIs are limited in routine gynecologic care, but patients expect comprehensive counseling from knowledgeable providers. Additional provider training may increase comfort discussing and providing PrEP. These findings will inform development of implementation strategies to integrate PrEP care into gynecologic services.
