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

To evaluate the implementation outcomes of a culturally responsive social media outreach campaign and peer navigation program to improve access to HIV status-neutral sexual health services-which encompass both HIV prevention and care, regardless of HIV status-for Latino gay and bisexual men (LGBM) in metropolitan Atlanta. We designed and implemented a social media outreach campaign linked to a peer navigation program. The study included four stages: peer navigator recruitment/training, social media campaign development, program implementation, and exit interviews. Data from social media engagement, intake forms, follow-ups, and exit interviews evaluated reach, effectiveness, acceptability, usability, and patient-centeredness. A total of 70 participants, primarily young, foreign-born, Spanish-speaking, uninsured, and undocumented, enrolled in the study over 6 months. The program facilitated same-day service referrals, providing access to HIV/STI testing, PrEP, and care. Participants reported high acceptability, usability, and patient-centeredness. Factors impacting acceptability included ease of use, practical assistance, effective communication, and empathetic approach of the navigator. A community-informed social media outreach campaign connected with a culturally responsive peer navigation program was very well received by LGBM participants in the Atlanta area and led to successful linkage the HIV status-neutral services. Given the ongoing disparities in HIV prevention and care in this group, further intervention scale-up in the setting of a clinical trial is warranted, to assess its effectiveness in increasing uptake of PrEP and HIV treatment services in this population.
