Advertising Patterns of internet-Based Male Sex Workers Who Have Sex With Men (MSMSW): The Association Between LGBTQIA+ Events and Advertising for Work During the 2022 Pride Season.
Article in American journal of men's health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Research into populations of male sex workers who have sex with men (MSMSW) has historically been stymied given the illegal, stigmatized nature of the profession. The internet has shaped how many sex workers advertise their services to clients. Few studies, however, have leveraged internet advertising data to inform MSMSW-specific public health programming and/or outreach efforts. The primary aim of this study was to describe the association between MSMSW advertising during LGBTQIA+ events in U.S. cities during the 2022 pride season. Data were web-scraped at weekly intervals from an internet platform popular among MSMSW in 16 U.S. cities with scheduled LGBTQIA+ events over 18 weeks June to October 2022. For each city, a Poisson regression was fitted for the outcome of number MSMSW advertisements/week and the association with LGBTQIA+ pride events (binary, no/yes), adjusted for month. Cities with the greatest number of MSMSW advertisements were New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago, with 848.2 (
