Injection drug use, unknown HIV positive status, and self-reported current PrEP use among Black men who have sex with men attending U.S. Black pride events, 2014-2017.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveBlack gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (BMSM) are at elevated risk for HIV infection in the United States. BMSM who inject drugs may be face even higher HIV risk.
methodsRandom time-location sampling was used to survey BMSM attending Black Pride events in 6 U.S. cities about HIV risk and protective behaviors, including injection drug use, prior HIV testing, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). 3429 individuals who reported a HIV negative/unknown serostatus at enrollment were included in the analysis. HIV status was determined by in-field rapid HIV testing.
results3.6% of BMSM had injected drugs in their lifetime and 58.5% of BMSM who had injected drugs reported sharing syringes in the past six months. BMSM who had injected drugs more commonly reported current PrEP use than BMSM who had never injected (32.5% vs. 8.2%, p < 0.001). BMSM who had injected drugs were 3.6-fold (95% CI: 2.4, 5.4) more likely to report currently using PrEP than BMSM who had never injected after adjustment for sociodemographic, substance use, and sexual risk characteristics. Among BMSM who reported ever injecting drugs (n = 123), 31.7% tested HIV positive. HIV prevalence did not differ by self-reported PrEP use among BMSM who had injected drugs (p = 0.59).
conclusionsBMSM who inject drugs who reported currently using PrEP were no less likely to test positive for HIV than those who did not use PrEP. Wrap-around services to support consistent PrEP use and long-acting PrEP formulations may improve the effectiveness of PrEP among BMSM who inject drugs.
