1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundGrowing research on transgender youth is accounting for the variety of ways in which young people define their genders and sexualities. Because of this growing representation, more research is needed to understand how intersectional identities and stigma affect risk for HIV acquisition along the HIV care continuum and engagement in mental and physical health care. Little is known about accessibility to HIV-related prevention services of nonbinary and transmasculine youth, and further understanding of the impacts on transfeminine people-those who have historically faced the highest prevalence of HIV positivity-is crucial.

objectiveThe overarching aims of the Trans Youth of Color Study are to conduct longitudinal research with a cohort of transgender minority youth (TGMY), explore factors that aid in the prevention of new HIV infection and transmission, and reduce HIV- and AIDS-related disparities by focusing on successful engagement in care. Findings from this research will be used to inform the development of new interventions designed to engage TGMY in the HIV prevention and care continua.

methodsLongitudinal research (baseline and follow-up assessments every 6 months for 3 waves of data collection) followed a cohort (N=108) of transgender youth of color recruited in Los Angeles, California, United States. Participants were recruited using multiple community-informed strategies, such as from local venues, social media, and participant referral. In addition to self-report surveys, urine was collected to assess recent use of illicit drugs, and blood, rectal, and throat swabs were collected to test for current sexually transmitted infection and HIV infection. Additional blood and plasma samples (10 mL for 4 aliquots and 1 pellet) were collected and stored for future research.

resultsParticipants in the Trans Youth of Color Study were recruited between May 25, 2018, and December 7, 2018. Baseline and longitudinal data are being analyzed as of August 2022.

conclusionsThe findings from this research will inform adaptations to existing evidence-based HIV prevention interventions and help to guide new interventions designed to engage TGMY, especially those who are Black, Indigenous, or people of color, in the HIV prevention and care continua.
