Predictors of sexual behaviour among men and women in New York City area prisons.
Article in Culture, health & sexuality, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The USA currently has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Individuals at greatest risk for HIV also tend to be among those at an elevated risk for incarceration. The HIV epidemic is driven by injection drug use and sexual behaviour, and estimates of prison-based sexual behaviour vary widely. This study examined sexual behaviour among 1369 incarcerated men and women in the New York City area. Approximately 13% of the sample (n = 176) reported being sexually active while incarcerated over the previous 6 months. Multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the predictors of prison sexual behaviour. The following variables were associated with increased odds of sexual activity in the previous six months: female gender (OR = 3.28; 95%CI = 1.95,5.51), Black race (OR = 2.26; 95%CI = 1.47,3.46), history of drug use (OR = 1.85; 95%CI = 1.04,3.30), bisexual (OR = 3.19; 95%CI = 1.90,5.38) or homosexual identity (OR = 8.50; 95%CI = 3.92,18.43) and conjugal visitation programme participation (OR = 66.26; 95%CI = 31.42,139.74). Educational programmes regarding sexually transmitted infections and appropriate harm reduction measures are warranted for this population. The expansion of conjugal visitation programmes may also be useful in helping prisoners sustain their relationships with partners from their community and reduce the risk of infectious disease transmission in this environment.
