Structural Interventions for HIV Prevention and Care Among US Men Who Have Sex with Men: A Systematic Review of Evidence, Gaps, and Future Priorities.

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
The preponderance of HIV interventions have been behavioral, targeting individual, dyadic, or group dynamics. However, structural-level interventions are required to decrease HIV transmission and increase engagement in care, especially for men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly Black and Latinx MSM. A systematic literature review was conducted to assess the current state of structural interventions; only two studies detailing structural interventions related to HIV for Black and Latinx MSM in the US were identified. An additional 91 studies which discussed structural-level barriers to optimal HIV outcomes among MSM, yet which did not directly evaluate a structural intervention, were also identified. While this paucity of findings was discouraging, it was not unexpected. Results of the systematic review were used to inform guidelines for the implementation and evaluation of structural interventions to address HIV among MSM in the U.S. These include deploying specific interventions for multiply marginalized individuals, prioritizing the deconstruction of structural stigma, and expanding the capacity of researchers to evaluate "natural" policy-level structural interventions through a standardization of methods for rapid evaluative response, and through universal application of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity demographic measures.
