Daily activity spaces and drug use among female sex workers living with HIV in the Dominican Republic.
Observational study in Health & place, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The purpose of this study was to explore the daily activity spaces of female sex workers living with HIV in the Dominican Republic and assess the relationship between activity path and location-based risk exposure measures and daily drug use. The study employed a micro-longitudinal observational study design using an innovative 7-day travel diary to capture daily activity routes and a 7-day mobile health (mHealth) daily diary to collect daily substance use behaviors among 51 female sex workers. To estimate between-subject variability, a series of crude and adjusted modified log-Poisson repeated measures regression models with generalized estimating equations, clustering by individual with a compound symmetry working correlation structure were fit to estimate the relative risks and 95% confidence intervals. Controlling for individual level factors, findings showed that female sex workers exposed to a higher number of risk outlets (e.g., liquor stores, bars, hotels, nightclubs, brothels, etc.) within 200 and 100-meters of sex work locations were at an increased risk of daily drug use (RR
