What affects timely linkage to HIV Care for Young Men of Color who have sex with Men? Young Men's Experiences Accessing HIV Care after Seroconverting.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 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
The HIV care continuum provides intervention points that should be addressed to optimally identify, engage, and retain populations in HIV care. This study addressed the lack of research into barriers and facilitators of linkage to care for HIV-positive young men who have sex with men (YMSM) of color. Data were collected using a qualitative timeline follow-back interview approach with YMSM who had seroconverted in the last 6 months. Interviews were conducted with 15 YMSM from April 2017 to April 2018. This study provides important information about what can delay linkage to care for YMSM of color. These delays include fractured referrals to care providers via mobile HIV testing vans, adapting to an HIV diagnosis and integrating it into their lives, and finding caring and competent providers that offer wraparound services, specifically mental health services, as soon as possible after an HIV diagnosis. Addressing these issues is imperative to optimize YMSM's engagement in the HIV care continuum and work toward ending the epidemic.
