Sustained high HIV incidence among men who have sex with men in Jiangsu province, China: based on the limiting-antigen avidity EIA method and six consecutive surveys, 2016-2021.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2023. 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
Background: The epidemic of HIV infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) is a major public health concern in some parts of China, but data on trends in HIV incidence are limited. This study aimed to examine the trends in HIV incidence and factors associated with recent HIV infection among MSM in Jiangsu province, China, based on the limiting-antigen avidity enzyme immunoassay (LAg-Avidity-EIA) method. Methods: Six consecutive surveys were implemented among MSM throughout Jiangsu province from 2016 to 2021. Participants were recruited in three ways. Socio-demographic and behavioral information were collected through face-to-face interviews. Venous blood samples were taken to test for HIV and syphilis. HIV incidence was estimated using the LAg-Avidity-EIA method. Chi-square trend tests were used to observe trends over the years. Multivariate regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with recent HIV infection. Results: A total of 15,401 participants were enrolled in the study. The prevalence of HIV infection ranged from 8.0 to 9.8%, with no consistent rise or fall over the years ( Conclusions: HIV incidence among MSM has remained at a high level in Jiangsu province. In China, health education, condom use, and HIV/syphilis testing should continue to be top priorities for HIV prevention among MSM to reduce HIV transmission.
