Social Impacts of Multi-City HIV Research Participation Among Sexual and Gender Expansive Individuals in Kazakhstan.
Article in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSexual and gender expansive (SGE) individuals in Kazakhstan are disproportionately affected by HIV yet stigma and discrimination pose ethical and practical challenges for HIV prevention research involving them. Although researchers are tasked with ensuring that risks of research participation are reasonable in relation to its benefits, participant-reported risks and benefits of research participation-including negative (NSIs) and positive social impacts (PSIs) on personal relationships, social status, health, and other life domains-among SGE populations have received little attention.
methodsWe examined NSIs and PSIs of research participation among SGE individuals in a three-city HIV prevention study in Kazakhstan at the trial's follow-up visits. We analyzed responses from 579 unique participants who completed a total of 2648 follow-up visits over the 36-month study period (2019-2022).
resultsOverall, NSIs were rare: 9 (2%) participants reported NSIs during the study; nearly no NSIs ( =0.0037, SD=0.03) were reported at follow-up visits. These few NSIs included 'trouble with friends, family, or acquaintances' and 'other'. By contrast, PSIs were extensive: 515 (89%) participants reported PSIs during the study; an average of almost five PSIs ( =4.8, SD=3.4) were reported at follow-up visits. The most frequently reported PSIs were 'gained knowledge', 'improvement in HIV-related issues', and 'improvement in mental health'.
conclusionsOur findings demonstrate the potential for HIV prevention research to be associated with PSIs for SGE individuals experiencing stigmatization and discrimination. Future research should address NSIs, particularly confidentiality breaches and interpersonal challenges, within HIV prevention research to minimize risks and burdens of participation.
