"We Live in Different Chicagos": Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Neighborhood Affiliations of Young Men Who Have Sex with Men as Drivers of HIV Risk.

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
Racial disparities in HIV are well-documented and pervasive, particularly impacting Black young men who have sex with men (YMSM), and are not explained by differences in individual risk behaviors. The Network-Individual-Resource (NIR) Model of HIV Transmission and Prevention (Johnson et al. in AIDS Behav 14:S204-S221, 2010) suggests that focusing on the broader network-level environments of YMSM holds strong promise for identifying social-contextual factors that may drive these racial disparities. Empirically, numerous studies have demonstrated links between neighborhood-level factors and HIV risk among YMSM (Bauermeister et al. in J Sex Res 54:446-464, 2017). This mixed-methods study aimed to characterize racial differences in the broader contexts (i.e., neighborhood affiliations) within which YMSM meet their sex partners, which may in turn shape HIV risk. Using an innovative explanatory sequential design, multilevel network and geospatial data from an existing longitudinal cohort of YMSM in Chicago were visualized (Phase 1) and subsequently used to guide interviews with a subsample of participants in the broader parent study (Phase 2). Grounded theory was used to analyze interview data, leading to the identification of several salient differences in Black, White, and Latino YMSM's neighborhood-level affiliations, including racial segregation and resource inequality, White spatial insularity, profound Black-White segregation, and Black and Latino neighborhood bridging. From a network perspective, these racial differences in neighborhood-level affiliations have strong potential to help explain the disproportionate burden of HIV among Black YMSM. Findings highlight the importance of attending to the social context within which individual risk behaviors take place and underscore the importance of broader structural change to address racial disparities in HIV.
