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: Using a community-engaged approach, we adapted a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention smartphone app, Transpire, to meet the HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention needs of transgender men and other transmasculine people. We conducted a pilot study to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the app among participants in two cities in the southeastern United States. Methods: Participants were recruited online and through community partners. Eligible and consenting participants used the Transpire app for 3 months and completed surveys at the beginning and end of the follow-up period. Transpire gave participants access to HIV and STI prevention information; the ability to order HIV and STI at-home self-test kits, condoms, and lube; and mental health and substance use resources. The primary feasibility outcome was the System Usability Scale (SUS), which measures the usability of technology-based products. Results: Sixty participants were enrolled. Most were 18-24 years old ( Conclusions: Following a community-engaged adaptation process, the Transpire app was found to be acceptable in a pilot study conducted among transmasculine participants. These pilot data indicate that app-based interventions have the potential to increase awareness of and access to sexual health resources for transmasculine people. Additional studies will be needed to assess the efficacy of Transpire or similar apps to improve sexual health outcomes.
