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
objectiveGay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) remain at high risk of HIV infection via condomless anal sex. Sexually explicit media (SEM) likely influences GBMSM's sexual behavior and has been associated with condomless anal sex. SEM messages may be especially potent during formative developmental periods.
methodWe examined the association between age of first SEM exposure and condomless anal sex in a sample of adult GBMSM (N = 1,114) recruited using the Internet.
resultsEvery 1-year delay in age of first SEM exposure resulted in a 3% decrease in the odds of engaging in condomless anal sex as an adult (odds ratio = .97, 95% CI [.95, .99], p = .01). This association remained significant in 3 separate multivariable models that controlled for age of sexual debut, age of anal sex debut, and current age, respectively. This association was moderated by ethnicity such that the effect was stronger among Latino men.
conclusionsGBMSM who were exposed to SEM earlier in their lives report more sexual risk behavior as adults. SEM exposure in GBMSM is an important sexual development milestone deserving further research. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).
