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
objectiveThis cross-sectional study investigated the associations of neighborhood-level factors with immune activation, systemic inflammation, and leukocyte telomere length in 110 sexual minority men with human immunodeficiency virus.
methodFrom 2013 to 2017, sexual minority men with human immunodeficiency virus who used stimulants were recruited in San Francisco, California and provided blood samples to measure the markers of immune activation, systemic inflammation, and leukocyte telomere length. To measure neighborhood-level indices, the home address for each participant was geocoded and linked to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hierarchical linear modeling was employed to investigate the associations of neighborhood-level factors with systemic inflammation and leukocyte telomere length.
resultsAfter adjusting for age, stimulant use, self-reported income, level of education, and race and ethnicity, residing in neighborhoods with greater percentages of poverty (β = .33, p < .001) and a higher proportion of racial/ethnic minority residents (β = .26, p < .05) were independently associated with higher levels of interleukin-6. Additionally, residing in neighborhoods with higher percentage of uninsured individuals was independently associated with higher tumor necrosis factor-alpha (β = .24, p < .05). Indices of neighborhood-level adversity were additionally associated with providing a urine sample that was reactive for stimulants (OR = 1.31, p = .002), which was, in turn, associated with shorter leukocyte telomere length (β = -.31, p < .05).
conclusionsFuture longitudinal research should examine the biobehavioral pathways linking neighborhood-level factors and stimulant use with systemic inflammation and cellular aging. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
