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 mixed-methods study explored resilience-enabling behaviors and practices exhibited by young Latino sexual minority men (YLSMM) to cope with stigmatizing experiences attributed to their multiple minoritized identities and reduce their HIV risk. Guided by a positive deviance approach, we identified and interviewed 15 YLSMM (aged 18 to 24) with a history of regular HIV testing and lived experiences of intersectional stigma. Thematic analysis reveals multilevel strategies used by participants to mitigate the adverse effects of stigma on mental health and HIV preventive behaviors. Strategies included using positive self-talk and self-expression, having an immediate network of supportive friends and families, and engaging in community-based support groups and events. In turn, these strategies motivated participants to exercise self-care, accept their minoritized identities, especially their sexual orientation, seek emotional and informational support, and connect with other Latino sexual minority men and the larger Latine community.
