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

Long-acting injectable cabotegravir (LAI-CAB) is a novel HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) modality found to significantly lower HIV risk in key populations. EquiPrEP was an observational implementation science study to examine multilevel barriers and facilitators to LAI-CAB implementation among Black and/or Latine MSM, Black and/or Latine cisgender women, and transgender and nonbinary persons. This study took place at the Pride Health Center (PHC) at NYC Health+Hospitals (H+H)/Bellevue in New York City (February 2023-February 2025). Sociodemographic and health related social needs screening data were collected from EquiPrEP participants via a survey. We conducted in-depth interviews with study participants (N=26) and implementers (N=25) guided by The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research 2.0. Descriptive statistics were used to assess sociodemographics for all EquiPrEP participants versus those recruited for in-depth interviews. Qualitative data was analyzed using thematic content analysis. Comparing all EquiPrEP participants (N=129) with the subgroup (N=26), the subgroup was older, with more Black cisgender MSM, and transgender women, a higher percentage ever on oral PrEP, and referred from an external clinic. Facilitators included open communication among staff, a patient-centered culture of care delivery and the EquiPrEP Navigator. Barriers included distance to clinical services, financial issues and insurance access. EquiPrEP is one of the first LAI-CAB implementation studies for HIV prevention to center equitable access for communities with the highest burden of HIV and elucidate implementation determinants to LAI-CAB. Findings may inform future implementation strategies seeking to incorporate equity as part of LAI-PrEP care.
