Prevalence of condomless anal intercourse and associated risk factors among men who have sex with men in Bamako, Mali.
Article in International journal of STD & AIDS, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundMen who have sex with men (MSM) are disparately impacted by HIV in sub-Saharan Africa and condomless anal intercourse (CAI) is a major driver of HIV transmission. The objective of the current study was to identify factors associated with CAI among MSM in Bamako, Mali, among whom HIV prevalence was 13.7%.
methodsA bio-behavioral survey was conducted between October 2014 and February 2015 using respondent-driven sampling to recruit 552 adult MSM. Weighted statistical analyses were conducted to determine the prevalence of CAI with one's most recent male partner and survey logistic procedures were used to identify associated factors.
resultsThe prevalence of CAI with one's most recent male partner was 40.7%. Associated factors included: inability to get a condom when needed (aOR = 5.8, 95%CI: 2.7-12.3) and believing CAI is acceptable under some circumstances (aOR = 8.4, 95%CI: 4.4-16.2).
conclusionsPrograms addressing HIV among MSM in Mali should aim to increase access to condoms and education about HIV prevention through consistent condom use during anal intercourse.
