Patient sexuality disclosure experience and associations with clinical sexual health outcomes among HIV-negative men who have sex with men in Mexico.
Article in Preventive medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Many men who have sex with men (MSM) do not disclose their sexuality to their healthcare provider, despite potential health benefits. Data from the 2017 Encuesta de Sexo Entre Hombres online survey of 13,277 HIV-negative or unknown status MSM in Mexico were used to explore MSM patients' sexuality disclosure experience on sexual health outcomes using multivariable Poisson models with robust variance estimation to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR). Sexual health outcomes included Hepatitis B (HepB) and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, and lifetime and past year HIV testing. Overall, 53.9% (n/N) disclosed their sexuality to their healthcare provider, and of those 6.4%, 62.9%, and 30.7% reported a negative, neutral, or positive disclosure experience, respectively. In comparison to no disclosure, neutral and positive disclosure experiences were associated with HepB vaccination (aPR[95% Confidence Interval (95% CI)] = 1.17[1.09, 1.25], p < 0.001; aPR[95% CI] = 1.35[1.25, 1.46], p < 0.001, respectively) and positive disclosure experiences were associated with HPV vaccination (aPR[95% CI] = 1.46[1.24, 1.71], p < 0.001). Those who disclosed their sexual behavior were more likely than those who did not disclose their sexual behavior to have received an HIV test in their lifetime (negative: aPR[95% CI] = 1.51[1.43, 1.60], p < 0.001; neutral: aPR[95% CI] = 1.61[1.56, 1.66], p < 0.001; positive: aPR[95% CI] = 1.64[1.58, 1.69], p < 0.001) and an HIV test in the past year (negative: aPR[95% CI] = 1.89[1.70, 2.10], p < 0.001; neutral: aPR[95% CI] = 2.09[1.98, 2.20], p < 0.001; positive: aPR[95% CI] = 2.24[2.12, 2.37], p < 0.001). There is a need to implement trainings for healthcare providers that focus on sexual health risk assessments and creating a space that encourages MSM patients and healthcare providers to discuss sexual health.
