Trends in Number and Composition of Sex Partners Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in the United States, National HIV Behavioral Surveillance, 2008-2014.
Article in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundSocial and legal acceptance of long-term same-sex partnerships in the United States has increased over the past decade which may impact sexual partnering among men who have sex with men (MSM). Identifying whether and how partnering trends have evolved at a national level could improve understanding of HIV transmission and prevention among MSM partnerships.
methodsWe used Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National HIV Behavioral Surveillance data (2008, 2011, and 2014) to study trends in the number and partner type composition (main/casual) of male sex partners among US MSM. Changes over time were assessed in Poisson regression models with the link function tailored to the count and binary outcomes.
resultsThe mean total number of partners in the past year increased, while the mean number of main partners remained stable. The percentage of MSM with both main and casual partners increased, and we observed a shift from having ≥1 main and 0 casual partners to having ≥1 main and ≥2 casual partners. Condomless anal sex in the past year increased regardless of partner composition. DISCUSSION: Findings suggest casual partnering among MSM has increased in recent years, including among those with ≥1 main partners. Both partner-based and individual prevention programs remain critical to reaching MSM.
