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
Introduction: Data on HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa show high prevalences in key populations. The objectives of this study were to measure the prevalence of HIV, syphilis and factors associated with HIV infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) and female sex workers (FSW) in Togo. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study targeting MSM and FSW in the 6 health regions of Togo in 2022. Respondent-Driving Sampling (RDS) was used. Sociobehavioral, HIV and syphilis seroprevalence data were collected and expressed as percentages of balanced risks. Results: A total of 2 110 MSM and 3 221 FSW were included in our study. Half of the MSM (53.3%) and FSW (49.7%) were aged between 15 and 24 years. The weighted prevalence of HIV was estimated at 8.7% (95% CI: 7.5%-9.9%) among MSM and 5.8% (95% CI: 5%-6.6%) among FSW. Syphilis incidence was 0.6% (95% CI: 0.3%-0.9%) and 0.2% (95% CI: 0%-0.3%), respectively in MSM and FSW. In multivariate analysis, MSM with: an age over 25 years (OR = 1.71; 1,96: p = 10 Conclusion: The results of our study show that HIV prevalence is high in Togo among MSM and FSW. Efforts must be redoubled to create a more favorable socio-cultural and legal environment for these populations in order to achieve a greater impact from HIV control interventions.
