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

Background: HIV notifications have increased among Asian-born men who have sex with men (MSM) in Australia. However, most existing campaigns were not designed for this population. This study assessed the acceptability of using a community-based audio drama from our previous "designathon" to increase the awareness and uptake of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), as compared with written information on the PAN website (PrEP Access Now; PAN.org.au), among Asian-born MSM in Australia. Methods: This open-label, 2-arm pilot trial based on a stratified randomized controlled design was conducted between April and July 2024. A total of 200 Asian-born MSM were randomized 1:1 to receive either the Results: Among the 200 participants, 96 formed the control arm, and 104 formed the intervention arm. Extreme satisfaction was expressed by 74% (71/96) and 77% (80/104) of the control and intervention arms, respectively. Full engagement (ie, completed the online media) occurred in 22% (21/96) and 85% (88/104) of the control and intervention arms ( Conclusions: The Clinical Trials Registration: ACTRN12623001361695 (Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry https://www.anzctr.org.au/Trial/Registration/TrialReview.aspx?id = 387003).
