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

backgroundSexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV disproportionately affect young people; gay, bisexual, queer, and other men who have sex with men (GBQMSM); transgender women; and persons of color. Our community-based participatory research partnership developed and implemented Impact Triad, a bilingual multilevel intervention harnessing peer navigation and mHealth to increase STI/HIV preventive behaviors and address 4 community-prioritized social determinants of health-education, employment, social support, and discrimination-among young African American/Black and Latine GBQMSM and transgender women.

methodsFifteen community-based peer navigators were trained to work within their social networks for 12 months. Each navigator engaged 5 social network members who completed baseline and immediate post-intervention assessments (retention rate, 97.3%). Regression modeling was used to assess changes in outcomes between baseline and follow-up.

resultsAmong 74 enrolled social network members, the average age was 27.8 years; 61% identified as African American/Black, 31% as Latine, and 8% as multiracial/multiethnic. The majority self-identified as cisgender men and 8% as transgender women; 78% identified as gay. About half reported monthly income below $1000.Compared with baseline, at follow-up, social network members increased: STI screening (P = 0.001), HIV testing (P = 0.001), condom use (P = 0.03), and preexposure prophylaxis use (P = 0.02). Knowledge of preexposure prophylaxis (P < 0.0001) and of community-based educational (P = 0.047), job-training (P = 0.002), and job-finding resources (P = 0.02) also increased. Social support increased (P < 0.0001) and perceived discrimination decreased (P < 0.01).

conclusionsPilot findings suggest that Impact Triad is promising in increasing STI/HIV protective behaviors and addressing social determinants of health among young GBQMSM and transgender women of color; further testing is warranted.
