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

Women comprise 19% of new HIV infections in the USA. Many women, particularly women of color, are unaware of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as an HIV prevention option. We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess feasibility and acceptability of a theory-based, contextually relevant behavioral intervention, Just4Us, to promote PrEP initiation and adherence among women in New York City and Philadelphia. Eligibility criteria included: cisgender women, aged 18-55, not living with HIV, not currently taking PrEP, and meeting PrEP eligibility guidelines. Participants were randomized 3:1 to the Just4Us Education and Activities (E&A) arm or to the Information arm (Info); all were provided with PrEP information and a referral list. E&A arm participants received an individually delivered session with a counselor-navigator, who provided information, motivation enhancement, skills-building, problem-solving, and referrals. Between baseline and 3-month follow-up, E&A arm participants received phone calls to support linkage to care and text messages to promote adherence. Feasibility and acceptability were assessed. Eighty-three women were enrolled (61 intervention; 22 Info); 79% were Black, 26% Latina, exceeding diversity and enrollment targets. Attendance rate for the initial E&A and Info intervention session was 100%. Three-month retention rate was high at 90%. E&A arm participants reported feeling very satisfied/satisfied with the following: overall session, 95%; discussion with counselor-navigator, 97%; tablet activities, 95%; text-messaging setup, 93%.; and video, 90%. Among Info and E&A arms, 78% felt the session length was just right and 95% stated that they would recommend/strongly recommend Just4Us to others. The pilot RCT demonstrated feasibility and acceptability of the Just4Us E&A intervention, a promising intervention to increase uptake of PrEP among cisgender women. The team was able to recruit, implement the interventions with a high degree of fidelity, and retain the target number of PrEP-eligible socially disadvantaged women. Overall, participant feedback indicated they were generally very satisfied with their intervention.
