Methamphetamine Injection Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men: Risk for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Transmission in a Los Angeles Cohort.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundPrevalence of methamphetamine (meth) injection and associated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risks among men who have sex with men (MSM) are unclear.
methodsA total of 532 MSM completed 1880 mSTUDY study visits between August 2014 and June 2018 in Los Angeles, California. Assessments every 6 months included computer-assisted self-interviews and testing for sexually transmitted infections. Analyses by person and across visits adjusted for repeated measures.
resultsOf 532 participants, 51% (n = 276) reported meth use (past 6 months). Across 1880 visits, mutually exclusive substance use categories were as follows: 5% meth injection (5%), meth use without injection (33%), other substance use excluding meth (36%), and no substance use (26%). Comparisons across these categories respectively found that meth injectors reported higher prevalence of new sex partners (89%, 70%, 68%, and 51%, respectively), more were HIV positive (83%, 65%, 34%, and 50%), fewer were virally suppressed (53%, 48%, 61%, and 67%), and more had sexually transmitted infections (31%, 22%, 15%, and 15% (all P <.01).
conclusionsAmong the young MSM reporting meth injection in this Los Angeles cohort, elevated risks of acquiring or transmitting HIV suggest that they contribute significantly to sustaining the local HIV epidemic. Preventing transition to injection use has potential for HIV prevention.
