Expanding HIV Prevention: Exploring Community Pharmacists' Willingness to Provide PrEP in Nigeria.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
HIV remains a significant public health challenge in Nigeria. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) effectively prevents HIV, but uptake is hindered by stigma, limited clinic access, and provider shortages. Community pharmacies could expand access, but their role in PrEP delivery remains underexplored. We assessed Nigerian community pharmacists' willingness and support needs for delivering pharmacy-delivered oral PrEP, examined association between sociodemographic factors and willingness, and compared pharmacy geolocations with sex worker hotspots and hospitals providing PrEP. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among licensed community pharmacists in Abuja and Lagos. Data collection was conducted using a hybrid approach (on-line and on-site) over two months from January to March 2025. Associations between sociodemographic factors and willingness to provide PrEP were examined using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. ArcGIS distance analysis compared pharmacy geolocations with sex worker hotspots and hospitals offering PrEP. Of 267 pharmacists, 99.6% expressed willingness to deliver PrEP. Key support needs included PrEP guidelines training (92.1%), access to HIV rapid tests (81.3%), counseling skills (70.8%), and logistical support (70.8%). Structural readiness was high, with significant gender differences in willingness to serve gay, bisexual, and men who have sex with men (male: 85.6% vs. female: 67.3%; χ
