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
This study examined the feasibility and acceptability of an evidence-based HIV prevention programme for men who have sex with men (MSM) in Ghana through a participatory approach. The programme involved 57 self-identified adult cisgender MSM and led by a community-based organisation in collaboration with local nurses. We used an explanatory mixed-method design to evaluate the programme. We computed descriptive statistics, relative frequency, and paired proportionate analysis for the survey data and subjected the focus groups data to summative content analysis. Five key themes from the qualitative data indicated strong evidence of the acceptability and efficacy of the programme among MSM. The programme contributed to building social support networks, a sense of social justice among MSM, and facilitated the development of personalised HIV prevention menus by the participants. We observed increases in HIV testing (from 4% to 17%) and increases in the relative frequency of condom use for anal, oral, and vaginal sex. The programme served as an example of a successfully implemented culturally grounded intervention that has the potential to increase HIV and STI awareness and prevention among MSM in Ghana and other highly stigmatised environments.
