Racial disparities in cancer risk among MSM with HIV in the United States.
Article in AIDS (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundGreater immunosuppression is associated with an elevated risk of virus-associated cancers among people with HIV. We investigated racial and ethnic disparities in cancer risk among MSM with HIV (MSMWH).
methodsAmong MSMWH from 2001 to 2019 in the HIV/AIDS Cancer Match Study, we examined Kaposi sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), liver cancer, anal cancer, and Hodgkin lymphoma. Within racial/ethnic groups, we estimated cancer rates relative to the general population with standardized incidence ratios (SIRs). We calculated incidence rate ratios (IRRs) comparing cancer risk between racial/ethnic groups among MSMWH using Poisson regression. We stratified these calculations according to prior AIDS diagnosis to assess whether differences persisted after accounting for AIDS.
resultsWe evaluated 358 023 MSMWH followed for 3.2 million person-years. The SIRs for KS for Hispanic/Latino MSMWH [887; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 833-943] and Black MSMWH (772; 95% CI = 727-819) were higher than White MSMWH (417; 95% CI = 392-443). Among MSMWH, risk of Kaposi sarcoma was higher for Hispanic/Latino and Black MSMWH compared to White MSMWH (IRR = 1.40 and 1.24, respectively). We did not detect differences in IRRs when stratified by AIDS diagnosis. While the SIR for anal cancer was lower among Black MSMWH (24.1; 95% CI = 22.3-26.0) compared to White MSMWH (38.4; 95% CI = 36.3-40.6), incidence was not statistically different (IRR = 0.98; 95% CI = 0.89-1.08).
conclusionIncidence rates and relative risks for several virus-related cancers were greater for Hispanic/Latino and Black MSMWH than White MSMWH, even when examined exclusively among those with or without AIDS. These disparities in cancer risk point to inequities in access to HIV care and disease burden.
