Understanding Patient Barriers and Facilitators Throughout the PrEP Care Continuum: an Analysis of Qualitative Interviews with PrEP Navigators in the United States.

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
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a medication that significantly reduces the risk of HIV infection when taken as prescribed, however, less than 36% of the 1.2 million eligible-for-PrEP Americans are currently prescribed it. PrEP navigators can help reduce barriers to PrEP uptake and increase access to care for those vulnerable to HIV. As part of formative work for designing an e-peer navigation tool, MyPEEPS Mobile Plus, twenty PrEP navigators were interviewed about barriers and facilitators to PrEP options, delivery, and peer navigation. We analyzed our findings using the nine-step PrEP care continuum as a framework. Participants described how medical mistrust, cultural competency, patient assistance programs, availability of PrEP options, prescriber knowledge and availability, housing insecurity, and rapport contribute to uptake and adherence of PrEP and retention in care. In summary, our study highlights the crucial role of PrEP navigators in facilitating access to HIV prevention services and demonstrates strategies to overcome individual and structural barriers in a clinical setting. These findings will improve the design of the MyPEEPS Mobile Plus intervention and may inform future e-peer navigation strategies.
