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

Long-acting injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), particularly lenacapavir, has demonstrated near-complete efficacy, yet its public health impact depends on community awareness, knowledge and acceptance. This cross-sectional study assessed awareness, knowledge, perceptions, acceptability, and predictors of lenacapavir use among adults in Ghana. We found awareness, knowledge, and perceptions were generally low, whilst acceptability was moderate (60.5%). Poor perception [(aOR = 0.12, 95% CI (0.05–0.29), p < 0.001)] and irregular exposure to online health information [(aOR = 0.24, 95% CI (0.07–0.77), p = 0.017)] were independently associated, 88.0% and 76.0% respectively, with lower acceptability. Targeted education, health worker engagement, and supportive policies are essential to facilitate lenacapavir uptake in Ghana.
