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

objectiveTo explore the association of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use with condomless sex and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in Washington, DC.

designMultivariate analysis of cross-sectional weighted survey data from 2014, 2017, and 2023 among MSM.

methodsThis analysis used venue-based, time-space sampling to survey MSM about HIV-related behavioral risk factors, HIV testing, and use of prevention services. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were conducted to calculate adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and ascertain the association between the use of PrEP with condomless sex and having a bacterial STI in the past 12 months

results774 MSM were surveyed during the three cycles in 2014, 2017, and 2023. The proportion of MSM reporting PrEP use, having a STI in the past 12 months, and condomless sex in the past 12 months increased over time from 2014 to 2023. MSM that used PrEP were more likely to report condomless sex (aPR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.11-1.55) and having a STI in the past 12 months (aPR = 2.97, 95% CI: 1.35-4.59).

conclusionsThere is a significant association of PrEP use with both condomless sex and having a STI in the past 12 months among MSM in Washington, DC. As a result, this population may benefit from doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy PEP) and other STI prevention methods, but further research is needed to understand the relationship between PrEP, condomless sex, and STIs.
