Global Human Immunodeficiency Virus Prevalence and Risk Behaviors in Transmasculine Individuals: A Scoping Review.
Review in Transgender health, 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
Purpose: This scoping review sought to synthesize human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevalence, incidence, risk behaviors, and risk perceptions among transmasculine (TM) individuals globally. Methods: Eligible articles were peer-reviewed observational and interventional studies published in English between August 2, 2014 and November 2, 2021. Four electronic databases were systematically searched: PubMed, Embase, PsycInfo, and Sociological Abstracts and reference lists hand-searched. Results are presented using numerical summary and thematic analysis. Results: Studies meeting inclusion criteria ( Conclusion: Although TM individuals are vulnerable to HIV and STI, incidence data are lacking. There is a dearth of research on the experiences, risk factors, and sexual behaviors of TM individuals, especially those who are nonbinary or ethnoracially minoritized. The collection of gender identity data in routine HIV surveillance is recommended. Services and interventions developed by and for TM individuals are needed.
