1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Transgender women are 49 times more likely to become HIV positive than all adults worldwide. Data were unavailable for trans women's sexual and mental health in the Middle East and North Africa until 2015-2016, when HIV prevalence (10%) and suicide attempt (46%) rates were established in Lebanon. Because of the lack of evidence-based interventions for this marginalized group, the purpose of this study was to pilot test an adapted intervention, "Baynetna," to assess preliminary impact on mental and sexual health. Using the gender affirmative model and community connectedness and social cohesion constructs, we pilot tested Baynetna among sixteen trans women, who attended 6 weekly 3-h trans-facilitated group-delivered sessions in Beirut with post-test assessments at 1, 3, and 6 months. Each participant acted as her own control; we used paired
