Prevalence and correlates of substance use and associations with HIV-related outcomes among trans women in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundTrans women face tremendous social inequities as well as disproportionate rates of HIV and substance use, yet disaggregated substance use data specific to trans women remain limited.
methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of baseline data from the Trans*National Study (2016-2017) surveying trans women in the San Francisco Bay Area (n = 629). Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze socio-demographic and environmental correlates of substance use, and bivariate associations between substance use and HIV-associated outcomes are presented alongside prevalence data.
resultsOver half (52.9%) reported using substances in the prior year, most frequently marijuana, methamphetamine, and crack/cocaine. Those with unmet gender-affirming health care needs, lack of insurance, or a history of experiencing racial violence, transphobic violence, adult housing instability, or extreme poverty had higher odds of substance use. Sex work and condomless anal sex were also independently associated with substance use.
conclusionsAmong this sample of trans women, substance use and substance use concurrent with sex were highly prevalent, and associated with a number of socioeconomic and health care needs. These findings corroborate the need for holistic and intersectional efforts to reduce substance use and HIV risk.
