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

The increasing use of antiviral drugs, combined with an aging population, has resulted in a growing number of older adults living with HIV. Unfortunately, high-risk sexual behavior among older individuals with HIV has led to HIV retransmission. Our study aimed to analyze the sexual behavior of elderly men with HIV in Chongqing and evaluate the factors influencing high-risk sexual behavior using a logistic regression model. The study involved 774 participants with an average age of 62 years. Of the participants, 45.74% (N = 354) reported having sex in the past year, and 13.70% (N = 106) reported high-risk sexual behavior in the same period. Our study identified several factors associated with high-risk sexual behavior, such as low education level, commercial and temporary sexual partners, and lack of awareness and use of condoms. The results highlight the significant prevalence of high-risk sexual behavior among HIV-infected older men in Chongqing, and the potential risk of secondary transmission. Therefore, targeted interventions and education programs are needed, particularly for men over 50 years old, those with low education level, and those who engage in commercial or temporary sexual partnerships. Specifically, promoting condom use and increasing awareness of HIV/AIDS knowledge should be prioritized to decrease the prevalence of high-risk sexual behavior and prevent further transmission of the virus.
