Linkage to care after HIV diagnosis among men who have sex with men and transgender women in Lima, Peru.
Article in AIDS care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In Lima, Perú, HIV prevalence is estimated to be 15% among men who have sex with men (MSM) and 30% among transgender women (TW). We investigated timely linkage of MSM and TW to HIV care, as linkage to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical to protect the health of those living with HIV and to prevent onward transmission. We investigated linkage within 90 days of HIV diagnosis by matching data from two studies conducted in Lima between 2013 and 2015 to national ART program records. We used generalized linear modeling to assess predictors of timely linkage and late presentation to care. Of 487 newly-diagnosed MSM and TW, only 44% presented for care at an HIV clinic within 90 days. Timely linkage was less common among TW (aPR 0.7, 95% CI 0.5-1.0), those younger than 24 (aPR 0.8, 95% CI 0.6-1.0), and those reporting a history of sex work (aPR 0.7, 95% CI 0.6-0.9). Proximity to an ART program clinic was not associated with linkage; most participants linked to clinics offering "LGBTQ-friendly" care. The pattern of clinics selected by participants suggests the importance of concerns about confidentiality and stigma in decision-making about where to link to care.
