Factors Affecting Access to and Utilisation of HIV/AIDS Preventive Services Among Young Single Mothers Working in Alcohol Serving Establishments in Rwanda: An Exploratory Qualitative Study.

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
Despite Rwanda's progress in HIV prevention for key populations, female employees in alcohol-serving establishments (ASEs) remain underserved, with interventions often lacking attention to the contextual factors shaping their HIV risk and service uptake. Guided by the Exploration phase of the Exploration, Preparation, Intervention, and Sustainment (EPIS) framework, a qualitative study was conducted to identify contextual factors affecting HIV prevention uptake among young single mothers working in informal ASEs. In-depth interviews were conducted with 101 participants recruited through maximum variation purposive and snowball sampling. Data were analyzed thematically, with findings organized according to inner and outer EPIS contextual domains. Outer context findings revealed structural and socio-cultural barriers, including unaffordability of post-exposure prophylaxis and HIV self-testing kits, inconsistent condom availability, and gender norms limiting women's autonomy in sexual health decision-making. Inner context findings highlighted workplace-related challenges, such as limited support from establishment owners, absence of HIV prevention resources within venues, and the influence of male partners and clients on women's ability to negotiate safer sexual practices. Facilitators across both contexts included HIV risk awareness, fear of unintended pregnancy, and aspirations for improved economic and social futures for themselves and their children. By systematically examining contextual influences during the EPIS Exploration phase, this study addresses a critical gap in HIV prevention research among an underserved population. These findings can inform the development of context-responsive behavioral and structural interventions aimed at improving HIV prevention uptake and addressing workplace, social, and structural drivers of HIV vulnerability in ASEs.
