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
Background: One of the biggest problems faced by the homosexual population is the high prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases including human immunodeficiency virus which can be attributed to inconsistent and incorrect use of condom. Condom usage among homosexuals is affected by many factors which may have a positive or negative impact on it. This study aimed to find out the different sociodemographic determinants that were associated with consistent and correct condom use among homosexual males aged 18-24 years. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 240 homosexual (including bisexual) males aged 18-24 years living in the Metropolitan city for minimum 1-year duration at the outreach sites of an NGO. Data pertaining to sociodemographic variables and consistent and correct condom use were obtained and analyzed in SPSS using the Chi-square test to find out the association between condom use and sociodemographic profile. Results: Only 43.3% of participants were using condoms consistently and correctly. Consistent and correct use of condom was observed among participants who were younger (p =<0.001), more educated (p =<0.001), belonging to a higher socioeconomic class (p =<0.001) with a high per-capita income (p =<0.001), living in a nuclear family ( Conclusion: Sociodemographic determinants do have an impact and play a vital role in the consistent and correct use of condoms among homosexual males.
