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

Purpose: We aim to examine if respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a feasible and efficient method to recruit Black and Latina/Hispanic transgender women into HIV research. Methods: As part of the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance Study among transgender women in New York City in 2019, RDS was implemented with a focus on recruiting Black and Latina/Hispanic transgender women. We identified factors independently associated with (1) peer recruitment and (2) presenting to the study with a photo coupon. Results: A total of 269 transgender women were enrolled, 94% of whom were Black or Latina/Hispanic. In terms of peer recruitment, 47% recruited at least one eligible peer. Compared with those who were aged 18-29 years, those aged 30-39 years (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR]: 2.04; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.35-3.07) and those aged 50 years or older (aPR: 1.97; 95% CI: 1.32-2.94) were more likely to recruit an eligible peer. Peer recruitment was also associated with utilizing HIV prevention services in the past 12 months (aPR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.18-2.23). We did not find any differences in presenting the study with a photo recruitment coupon versus a physical recruitment coupon. Conclusion: RDS was feasible and efficient in recruiting Black and Latina/Hispanic transgender women. Providing gender-affirming environments as well as allowing peer recruitment through photo coupons may have facilitated peer recruitment and study participation. Our findings regarding factors associated with peer recruitment could aid in future study design and may help in addressing the lack of HIV research among Black and Latina/Hispanic transgender women.
