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

IntroductionCrowdsourcing engages the community to create and share solutions; this participatory method could be used to create effective pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) promotions. We explored acceptability of using crowdsourcing to develop PrEP promotions among sexual minority men (SMM) and sexual health providers in Alabama.MethodsWe conducted focus group discussions (FGDs) with SMM and interviews with sexual health providers with guides grounded in the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability. We employed thematic analysis through deductive and inductive coding.ResultsTen SMM (60% Black, 50% younger than 30 years) participated in FGDs, and six providers completed interviews. We found four themes: 1) Personal identity and background inform the participation and products of crowdsourcing, 2) SMM and providers are motivated to participate in crowdsourcing, 3) Crowdsourcing participants require resources to effectively engage, and 4) Logistic and social factors are barriers to crowdsourcing participation.DiscussionCrowdsourcing as a strategy to create PrEP promotions in the Southern United states would be acceptable and feasible in the correct context. These formative, yet novel, findings demonstrate that SMM and sexual health providers would be willing to participate in crowdsourcing events and also provide key insight to design crowdsourcing events.
