Primary Incidence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among HIV-Infected Men Who Have Sex With Men in San Diego, 2000-2015.

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
backgroundLittle is known about the hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemic among HIV-infected men who have sex with men (HIV+ MSM) in the United States. In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence of primary HCV infection among HIV+ MSM in San Diego, California.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort analysis of HCV infection among HIV+ MSM attending 2 of the largest HIV clinics in San Diego. Incident HCV infection was assessed among HIV+ MSM with a negative anti-HCV test and subsequent HCV test between 2000 and 2017, with data censored to 2015. HCV reinfection was assessed among HIV+ MSM successfully treated for HCV between 2008 and 2015. Infection/reinfection rates were calculated using person-time methods.
resultsAmong 3068 initially HCV-seronegative HIV+ MSM, 178 new infections occurred over 15 796 person-years, giving an incidence of 1.13 per 100 person-years (/100py; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97-1.31). Incidence was stable from 2000 to 2014 (0.83/100py; 95% CI, 0.41-1.48), with an increase to 3.01/100py (95% CI, 1.97-4.42) in 2015 (
conclusionsHCV incidence is high among HIV+ MSM in San Diego, with evidence suggesting a recent increase in 2015. Strong HCV testing guidelines and active prevention efforts among HIV+ MSM are urgently needed that include rapid diagnosis, treatment, and risk reduction.
