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

People under community supervision who use drugs face elevated HIV risk. This randomized controlled trial used a mixed-methods approach to examine PrEP acceptance among community-supervised men who use drugs and their female partners. The study evaluated PrEP willingness among participants (N = 394) randomized to either PACT (5-session couples' HIV intervention) or control (1-session HIV counseling). Qualitative interviews with 20 couples (n = 40) explored PrEP attitudes. The PACT group showed significantly higher intentions to use condoms with PrEP compared to controls (64% vs. 53%, p = 0.03). Female partners in the PACT intervention demonstrated stronger PrEP use intentions than females in the control (aOR = 2.85, p = 0.02). Qualitative findings revealed five key factors affecting PrEP acceptance: (1) partner infidelity concerns, (2) substance use and decision-making, (3) HIV acquisition fears, (4) low-risk perception despite objective risk factors, and (5) medical mistrust. Gender influences PrEP acceptance among criminal legal-involved couples. Effective interventions should address gender differences, risk perception disparities, and medical mistrust.
