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
Gay and bisexual men (GBM) who report engagement in transactional sex are at increased risk for HIV acquisition. The current study aimed to assess the prevalence of transactional sex and its association with demographic characteristics, social marginalization, HIV sexual risk behaviors, psychosocial health problems, and access to healthcare services among a multi-site sample of GBM in Nigeria. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression were used to examine factors associated with engagement in transactional sex in the previous 3 months. More than a third (39.6%) of the participants reported engagement in transactional sex in the previous 3 months. In the multivariable model, factors associated with engagement in transactional sex included: reporting a monthly income of 30,000 Naira [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.98; 95% CI: 1.12 to 3.35], compared to 30,000 or more Naira monthly income, reporting 4 or more receptive anal sex acts in the previous 30 days (aOR 2.45; 95% CI: 1.31 to 4.57) compared to reporting none, and having depressive symptoms (aOR 1.82; 95% CI: 1.06 to 3.14). There is an urgent need for interventions that address the economic disenfranchisement and psychosocial problems experienced by GBM in Nigeria, which has implications for sexual health.
