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

backgroundStudies have documented high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence among transwomen in the United States; however, to our knowledge, no studies have documented trends in HIV prevalence in this population.

methodsWe used respondent-driven sampling to sample transwomen in San Francisco for 3 HIV prevalence and behavioral surveys in 2010, 2013, and 2016. Our analysis of point estimates and trends were weighted for the sampling method.

resultsHuman immunodeficiency virus prevalence by serological testing in the survey was 38.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 32.4-45.2), 33.7% (95% CI, 25.9-41.5), and 31.6% (95% CI, 12.2-38.1) in 2010, 2013, and 2016, respectively. Disparities in higher HIV prevalence by black, Latino, and Asian race/ethnicity and lower education level persisted through 2016.

conclusionsBased on a statistical test for trend, HIV prevalence among transwomen has remained high and stable from 2010 to 2016. Human immunodeficiency virus infection is still highest at 31.6% compared to any other group in San Francisco. We also observed that older transwomen had significantly higher odds of living with HIV than younger women over the last 2 waves of data collection. Taken together, these trends suggest that there is declining incidence of new HIV infections among low-income transwomen in San Francisco. Moreover, among transwomen, HIV disproportionately affects transwomen of color.
