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

MyPEEPS Mobile is a mHealth tool that focuses on important psychosocial and contextual factors related to HIV risk. It provides educational information about HIV and STIs, raises awareness about minority stress (e.g., due to sexual identity), and builds skills for condom use, emotion regulation, communication between participants and their family and potential partners, and negotiating interpersonal and substance-related risk. Our study team added content related to pre-exposure prophylaxis and updated the mobile app. Following the content updates, we conducted a rigorous usability assessment composed of a heuristic evaluation and end-user testing. Overall, our study findings informed revisions to the app to improve usability. There were some issues which we were unable to implement such as including a dark mode setting and a progress bar within each activity, and for the whole app.
