Patterns of Social Support and LGBTQ + Community Involvement Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in Australia and Their Effect on HIV-Related Outcomes: A Latent Class Analysis.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Peer support from social networks of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) has been recognised as a critical driver of engagement with HIV prevention. Using data from an online cross-sectional survey of 1,032 GBMSM aged 18 or over in Australia, a latent class analysis was conducted to categorise participants based on social support, LGBTQ + community involvement, and social engagement with gay men and LGBTQ + people. Comparisons between classes were assessed using multivariable multinomial logistic regression. Participants were allocated into four classes: 'Gay men focused' (n = 293, 28.4%) with high levels of support from gay men, 'High and diverse' (n = 75, 7.3%) with high support from people with a range of gender and sexual identities, 'Moderate overall' (n = 177, 17.2%) who reported some support from all sources, and 'Low overall' (n = 487, 47.2%) who had low support. Lifetime HIV testing was lower in the 'Low overall' (78.0%) and 'Moderate overall' (81.9%) classes compared to the 'Gay men focused' (96.9%) and 'High and diverse' (93.3%) groups. Among non-HIV-positive participants (n = 971), lifetime PrEP use was lower in the 'Low overall' (28.9%) than the 'Gay men focused' group (56.2%) but similar in the 'High and diverse' (59.7%) and 'Moderate overall' (37.5%) groups. Greater levels of social engagement with gay men and LGBTQ + people were associated with higher levels of HIV testing and PrEP use. Interventions are needed to reach GBM who are less engaged with GBMSM networks or LGBTQ + communities.
