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
objectiveHIV-preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) implementation can be examined by the PrEP care continuum that defines steps toward effective HIV prevention. We examined the PrEP continuum among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in the Netherlands and in Amsterdam.
designCross-sectional study combining multiple data sources.
methodsThe following steps of the PrEP care continuum were estimated for 2023: GBMSM not living with HIV, accessed sexual health services, PrEP-eligible, PrEP-intention, current PrEP use, and PrEP continuation. The number of GBMSM progressing through each step were estimated and percentages were calculated using the nominator of the previous step.
resultsAn estimated 746 061 [uncertainty interval (UI) 634 503-856 079] GBMSM were not living with HIV in the Netherlands. Of those, 44 911 (6%, UI 5-7%) accessed sexual health services, of whom 34 895 (78%, UI 71-86%) were PrEP-eligible. We estimate that 22 002 (63%, UI 49-78%) of those had intention to use PrEP. Of those with PrEP intention, 12 341 (56%, UI 47-69%) currently used PrEP and 10 097 (82%) of those continued PrEP. Of those who accessed sexual health services, 23% continued PrEP in the Netherlands, and 30% in Amsterdam.
conclusionsWhen having accessed sexual health services, retention in the PrEP care continuum was high, except for 'PrEP-intention' and 'current use' on the national level. To optimize PrEP implementation, targeted interventions to close this gap and annual monitoring of the PrEP care continuum using standardized resources are needed.
