Impact of length of injecting career on HIV incidence among people who inject drugs.
Article in Addictive behaviors, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
We examined the relationship between duration of injecting career and HIV seroconversion among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Vancouver, Canada. Data were derived from HIV-negative PWID enrolled in a prospective cohort study. We employed Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox regression to investigate the effect of length of time since injection drug use initiation on time to HIV seroconversion. In multivariable Cox analysis, duration of injecting career was negatively associated with time to HIV seroconversion (adjusted hazard ratio=0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69-0.97). Our findings highlight the need for interventions that target individuals who participate in high-risk drug use behaviors.
