Characterizing social cohesion and gender identity as risk determinants of HIV among cisgender men who have sex with men and transgender women in Côte d'Ivoire.

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
purposeHIV prevalence has been previously estimated among cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM) in Côte d'Ivoire; however, limited data exist relating to the role of social cohesion and gender identity within this population. This study aims to examine these factors as risk determinants of HIV among MSM in Côte d'Ivoire.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study using respondent-driven sampling for recruitment with a structured sociobehavioral instrument and testing for HIV. After respondent-driven sampling adjustment, chi-squared tests and bivariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to characterize social and identity-based risk determinants of biologically confirmed prevalent HIV infection.
resultsHIV prevalence was 11.2% (n = 146/1301). Transgender woman identity was associated with higher odds of HIV compared with cisgender MSM (aOR = 3.4, 95% CI [2.0-5.8], P < .001). Having a combined social cohesion score of medium (aOR = 0.4, 95% CI [0.2-0.8], P < .01) or high (aOR = 0.2, 95% CI [0.1-0.3], P < .001) was associated with lower odds of HIV compared with a low score.
conclusionThese data suggest that social cohesion is a determinant of prevalent HIV infection in Côte d'Ivoire among gay men, other cisgender MSM, and transgender women. The differences in HIV burden and social cohesion between transgender women and cisgender MSM highlight the need to better target the diversity of people traditionally included in the MSM umbrella to ensure comprehensive HIV prevention and treatment interventions.
