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
Young Black women (YBW) remain disproportionately affected by HIV, yet awareness and uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) remain low due to multilevel barriers and ineffective health communication. This formative qualitative intervention development study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to PrEP engagement among young Black women aged 18-25 living in New York City and to translate these insights into the design of a culturally grounded, sex-positive eHealth video intervention. Two exploratory focus groups (N = 13) examined individual, interpersonal, and structural/contextual influences on PrEP attitudes and use. Guided by Black Feminist Thought, the Theory of Triadic Influence, and the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills model, findings were systematically translated into design objectives and content strategies using intervention mapping. Entertainment-education principles informed the development of Put Yourself First, a culturally concordant five-minute animated video. Participants emphasized the need for clear, practical PrEP education (e.g., dosing, side effects, reversibility) paired with transparent and actionable access information (e.g., cost support, confidentiality, and feasible, low-burden access pathways). Participants also highlighted the importance of sex-positive messaging that centers self-care, autonomy, and pleasure, and authentic representation and peer-based "homegirl intervention" dialogue to enhance credibility, reduce stigma, and normalize PrEP within everyday relationship contexts. Collectively, these findings highlight core narrative and content design priorities for culturally responsive PrEP communication for YBW. The resulting video provides a potentially scalable, community-informed approach to delivering PrEP information through engaging digital storytelling. Next steps include assessing feasibility and acceptability and exploring dissemination through digital and community-based channels.
