Co-occurring psychosocial conditions are associated with increased HIV acquisition and transmission risk among young transgender women in Lima, Peru.

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
In Peru, transgender women (TW) are highly burdened by the HIV epidemic and stigma-related psychosocial conditions. Yet, a dearth of research has assessed co-occurring psychosocial conditions and HIV vulnerability among young TW. From February-July 2022, a community-recruited sample of young TW ages 16-24 years (N = 211) completed a cross-sectional socio-behavioral survey and HIV testing in Lima. Poisson regression models with robust variance estimated the association of indexes of co-occurring psychosocial conditions-childhood (family rejection, bullying, adverse childhood experiences, childhood sexual abuse), violence (psychological, physical, sexual, police violence), mental health (psychological distress, posttraumatic stress disorder, alcohol use disorder, non-injection drug use), and all (range = 0-12)-with past 6-month anal or vaginal condomless sex. Median age was 23 years, the majority were ethno-racial minority (35.1% Indigenous, 34.1% Mestiza, 12.3% Afro-Peruvian), 50.7% reported past 30-day sex work, 33.6% were HIV seropositive, and 42.0% reported past 6-month condomless sex. In separate multivariable sociodemographic-adjusted models, each index was associated with elevated prevalence of past 6-month condomless sex (all p < 0.05). For the overall index, each psychosocial condition increased the prevalence of past 6-month condomless sex by 16% (range = 8-23%). Understanding and intervening on co-occurring psychosocial conditions will be vital to mitigate HIV vulnerability among young TW in this context.
