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

backgroundPre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective approach for preventing HIV infection, but it is underutilized by populations who may benefit the most, including people living in the Southern United States and those involved in the criminal legal (CL) system. Improving the access and use of PrEP for these groups could decrease HIV-related health disparities. Beyond individual outcomes, HIV prevention for CL-involved people can have a significant public health impact on HIV incidence due to a high turnover between jails and the community.

objectiveWe will develop, implement, and evaluate a multicomponent PrEP implementation strategy for the Dallas County Jail (DCJ) to increase the initiation of this HIV-preventive intervention for CL-involved individuals.

methodsThis is a type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness study that takes a combined approach by assessing the implementation of a strategy to identify candidates for PrEP at the DCJ and linking them to PrEP providers upon community re-entry while also gathering information about clinical outcomes. The approach is guided by the EPIS (exploration, preparation, implementation, sustainment) framework. Initial formative work (exploration) involves qualitative interviews of diverse key stakeholders to identify factors that may influence linkage to PrEP after jail release. These findings will undergo rapid qualitative analysis (preparation) to inform the adaptation of a multicomponent jail PrEP implementation strategy protocol. This approach, which will include an electronic health record (EHR) prediction model and integration of a PrEP patient navigator into the jail health team, will allow medical providers and the navigator at the DCJ to engage individuals most likely to benefit in shared decision-making about PrEP and navigate them to community PrEP care (implementation) in a process that begins before release from jail and ends with successful care linkage. Regular quantitative and qualitative evaluations of this approach will allow for ongoing stakeholder input, refinement of the implementation strategy, and maintenance of the program (sustainment).

resultsFindings from 26 qualitative interviews (9 formerly incarcerated individuals, 9 county jail staff, and 8 employees of community organizations) have been obtained, analyzed, and mapped to an implementation strategy formalized in a jail PrEP protocol. An HIV risk prediction model based on EHR data to identify individuals most likely to benefit from PrEP has been developed and internally validated and is ready to be deployed. We anticipate the availability of preliminary study findings in 2026.

conclusionsThis study will provide key insights into the feasibility and effectiveness of a PrEP implementation strategy among people at increased risk of HIV acquisition in an urban jail in Southern United States. This practical and scalable strategy can be used as a model for other urban jails to address HIV-related inequities. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT IDENTIFIER (IRRID): DERR1-10.2196/64813.
