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
purposeAdolescent sexual minority males (ASMM) comprise a high-risk group that may benefit from expanded human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention services. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of HIV and STD testing among ASMM from pooled high school Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBSs).
methodsData came from 26 YRBSs from 2005 to 2013, which included questions on sexual identity and/or sex of sexual contacts and questions on ever being tested for HIV and/or STDs. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with lifetime HIV testing among sexually experienced ASMM.
resultsOverall, 3027 of 43,037 (6.3%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.8%-6.8%) males were categorized as ASMM. Among 1229 sexually experienced ASMM, 413 (26.6%, 95% CI: 21.8%-31.4%) reported ever being tested for HIV, and among 571 ASMM who reported not using a condom during last intercourse, 192 (29.4%, 95% CI: 21.3%-37.6%) reported testing. A longer duration since first intercourse (≥3 vs. ≤1 year: adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR]: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.0-2.6) and recent intercourse (within the past 3 months vs. earlier: aPR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.4-3.4) was associated with a higher adjusted prevalence of HIV testing. Sixty-four of 252 (30.2%, 95% CI: 20.0%-40.4%) sexually experienced ASMM reported ever being tested for STDs.
conclusionLow levels of testing among sexually experienced ASMM, particularly those who reported sex without a condom at last intercourse, highlight the exigency of improving age-appropriate HIV and STD prevention services. Educating healthcare providers to better assess adolescent sexual histories is essential to increasing testing.
