Characterizing Men Who Have Sex with Men and Use Injection Drugs in Vancouver, Canada.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We examined factors associated with reporting sex with men among men who inject drugs in Vancouver, Canada. Data were drawn from three open prospective cohorts of people who use drugs between 2005 and 2014. Generalized estimating equations were used to identify factors associated with reporting non-transactional sex with men (MSM) in the previous 6 months. Of 1663 men who used injection drugs, 225 (13.5%) were MSM over the study period. Sex with men was independently associated with younger age [Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 0.96], childhood sexual abuse (AOR = 2.65), sex work (AOR = 3.33), crystal methamphetamine use (AOR = 1.30), borrowing used syringes (AOR = 1.39), inconsistent condom use (AOR = 1.76), and HIV seropositivity (AOR = 3.82). MSM were less likely to be Hepatitis C-positive (AOR = 0.43) and to have accessed addiction treatment in the previous 6 months (AOR = 0.83) (all p < 0.05). Findings highlight vulnerabilities and resiliencies among MSM-PWID and indicate a need for trauma-informed and affirming harm reduction and substance use treatment services for MSM-PWID.
