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.

Abstract

Black women in the Southeastern United States face disproportionate HIV risk yet have low pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) utilization. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of I'm Fully Empowered (IFE4Her), a community-based intervention combining peer-led culturally-tailored messaging with mobile medical unit (MMU) services alongside complementary health screenings to enhance PrEP awareness and access among cis-gender women in four low-income communities. Over eight months of weekly half-day sessions, 78 women approached the MMU, 31 underwent services, 24 (77%) underwent a PrEP consultation, and 8 (33%) expressed interest in initiating. Field-based logistical challenges (blood draw difficulties, equipment malfunctions, and transportation to off-site laboratories) prevented PrEP initiation but highlighted modifiable implementation gaps. Satisfaction was high, with 80-85% reporting positive experiences with convenience, scheduling, and consultation quality. Over 95% utilized additional health screenings. Mobile, community-based PrEP access appears feasible and acceptable, supporting optimized mobile models to expand PrEP access for underserved women.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05644834.
