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

Introduction: Pregnant or parenting adolescent girls and young women (PPYW) are at greater risk of sexual exposure to HIV than their peers, yet tailored HIV prevention efforts for PPYW remain limited. Methods: We analysed cross-sectional data (2020-2023) from a sample of PPYW (median age 21.5, IQR = 20.3-22.5) in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Results: Approximately 88% of PPYW who were HIV-negative ( Conclusions: This study highlights missed opportunities in PrEP delivery and offers recommendations to enhance PrEP awareness and uptake among PPYW. Despite high HIV testing rates in this key population, awareness of PrEP, its offer, and uptake remain low.
