High Rates of Sexualized Drug Use or Chemsex among Brazilian Transgender Women and Young Sexual and Gender Minorities.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
(1) Background: We aimed to estimate sexualized drug use (SDU) prevalence and its predictors among sexual and gender minorities. (2) Methods: We used an online and on-site survey to enroll sexual/gender minorities people between October-December/2020, and multivariate logistic regression to obtain SDU correlates. (3) Results: We enrolled 3924 individuals (280 transgender women [TGW], 3553 men who have sex with men [MSM], and 91 non-binary), 29.0% currently on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). SDU prevalence was 28.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 27.4-30.2). TGW had 2.44-times increased odds (95%CI 1.75-3.39) of engaging in SDU compared to MSM, regardless of PrEP use. PrEP use (aOR 1.19, 95%CI 1.00-1.41), South/Southeast region (aOR 1.26, 95%CI 1.04-1.53), younger age (18-24 years: aOR 1.41, 95%CI 1.10-1.81; 25-35 years: aOR 1.24, 95%CI 1.04-1.53), white race/color (aOR 1.21, 95%CI 1.02-1.42), high income (aOR 1.32, 95%CI 1.05-1.67), binge drinking (aOR 2.66, 95%CI 2.25-3.14), >5 sexual partners (aOR 1.88, 95%CI 1.61-2.21), condomless anal sex (aOR 1.49, 95%CI 1.25-1.79), self-reported sexually transmitted infection (aOR 1.40, 95%CI 1.14-1.71), and higher perceived HIV-risk (aOR 1.37, 95%CI 1.14-1.64) were associated with SDU. (4) Conclusions: TGW had the highest SDU odds. SDU may impact HIV vulnerability among key populations and should be addressed in HIV prevention approaches.
