Sexual Mixing Patterns and Anal Human Papillomavirus Among Young Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men and Transgender Women in 2 Cities in the United States, 2012-2014.

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
backgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection. Men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) are at high risk for anal HPV infection and subsequent anal cancer. This study assessed the association of partner discordances with prevalent high-risk anal HPV (HRAHPV) among MSM and TGW.
methodsParticipants were enrolled in the cross-sectional young men's HPV study of gay, bisexual, and other MSM, and TGW, aged 18 to 26 years, from 2 cities. Participants completed a confidential standardized computer-assisted interview and provided self-collected anal swabs for type-specific HPV DNA testing. Multivariate analyses were conducted for 3 discordances of interest (i.e., partner age, race/ethnicity, and concurrent partner) to calculate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsEight hundred sixty-two participants were included for partner race/ethnicity discordance, 601 for partner age discordance, and 581 for concurrent partner analysis. Most reported being older than 21 years, cisgender male, and gay. Adjusted odds of HRAHPV were not significantly increased among participants reporting partner age discrepancy >10 years (aOR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.51-1.56), partner race/ethnicity discordance (aOR, 0.88; CI, 0.62-1.24), or partner with concurrent partners (aOR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.50-1.42), compared with those who did not.
conclusionsThis analysis did not identify any partner discordances associated with HRAHPV. Because HPV infection can persist for years, sexual mixing patterns with early partners might be more relevant than the most recent sex partner. Prevalence of HRAHPV was high and could be preventable by preexposure vaccination, as recommended for everyone through age 26 years including MSM and TGW.
