Combining the HYM (Healthy Young Men's) Cohort Study and the TRUTH (A Trans Youth of Color Study): Protocol for an Expanded Mixed Methods Study Renewal.

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
backgroundAs we enter the fifth decade of the AIDS epidemic, health researchers and AIDS activists reflect both on the progress that has been made and the importance of continued prevention efforts for those most at risk. As HIV infection rates continue to fluctuate across communities, a trend has emerged with new HIV infections becoming increasingly concentrated-with cascading effects-among people aged <30 years, from marginalized racial and ethnic groups, and who are sexual or gender minorities.
objectiveIn this paper, we discuss the renewal of the Healthy Young Men's (HYM) Cohort Study and the addition of a subcohort-TRUTH: A Transgender Youth of Color Study. The overarching aim of our renewed study was to inform new intervention strategies; understand linkage to care; and examine changes over time with respect to minority-related stress and intersectional identities and their relationship with substance use, mental health, and HIV risk. Findings from this study will help to inform the development of new interventions designed to engage African American and Black and Latino young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and transgender and gender minority youth in the HIV prevention and care continua and to reduce risk by addressing pathways of minority-related stress and intersectional stigma.
methodsLongitudinal study (baseline and follow-up assessments every 6 months for a total of 8 waves of data collection) is ongoing with reconsented cohort from the last iteration of HYM Cohort Study. This study protocol includes self-report survey, collection of urine to assess recent use of illicit drugs, and collection of blood and rectal and throat swabs to test for current sexually transmitted infection and HIV infection. An additional sample of blood and plasma (10 mL for 4 aliquots and 1 pellet) is also collected and stored in the HYM Cohort Study biorepository for future studies. This mixed methods study design includes collection of triangulated analysis of quantitative, qualitative, and biological measures (ie, drug use, sexually transmitted infection and HIV testing, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy among participants who are HIV+) at baseline and every 6 months.
resultsAs of February 2022, participants from the past 4 years of the HYM Cohort Study and TRUTH: A Transgender Youth of Color Study Cohort have been reconsented and enrolled into the renewal period of longitudinal data collection, which is projected from summer of 2020 until summer of 2025. Recruitment is ongoing to reach our target enrollment goal of YMSM and transgender minority youth.
conclusionsThe findings from this study are being used to inform the development of new, and adaptation of existing, evidence-based HIV prevention interventions designed to engage populations of transgender and gender minority youth and YMSM in the HIV prevention and care continua.
