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

This study aimed to investigate the impact of sexual partners' HIV serostatus awareness on the HIV acquisition among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Guangzhou, China. A nested case-control study was conducted based on a prospective cohort of MSM in Guangzhou. Within the cohort, individuals who underwent HIV seroconversion were identified as the case group, and each case was matched with four controls from the non-seroconverted participants. Information regarding the awareness of sexual partners' HIV serostatus over the preceding 6 months was gathered. Of the 161 participants, 36.0% were aware of the HIV serostatus of all their sexual partners. The practice of engaging in condomless anal sex with partners of unknown HIV serostatus and being aware of the HIV serostatus of only some casual partners were positively correlated with an elevated risk of acquiring HIV. Conversely, being fully aware of the HIV serostatus of all sexual partners, including regular ones, was associated with a diminished risk of HIV incidence. Regular communication with sexual partners regarding HIV testing outcomes, honest disclosure of one's own HIV serostatus, and refusal of sexual contact with partners of unknown HIV serostatus can potentially mitigate the risk of acquiring HIV among MSM.
