Immigrant Status and Sexual Orientation Disclosure: Implications for HIV/STD Prevention Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Seattle, Washington.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV and may avoid disclosing their sexual preferences to others. With heightened attention on immigrant status in the United States, foreign-born MSM may be particularly concerned about disclosing their sexual orientation. We sought to examine how immigrant status is associated with sexual orientation disclosure among MSM and to assess the impact of disclosure on HIV/STD prevention outcomes stratified by nativity. We analyzed data from the 2014 and 2017 Seattle-area surveys of MSM from the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) system. Foreign-born MSM were less likely than U.S.-born MSM to have disclosed their sexuality to friends who are not gay, lesbian, or bisexual (85.0% vs. 95.5%; p < .001) or to family members (80.5% vs. 91.3%; p < .001). Further, disclosure to one's health care provider significantly increased the likelihood of having tested for HIV in the past 12 months among foreign-born and U.S.-born MSM. Findings highlight the need to better understand the risks and benefits of disclosure among foreign-born MSM. Future research may explore how responses and reactions to disclosure among foreign-born MSM shape pathways to HIV risk and prevention.
