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
Evidence suggests a substantial burden of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and high proportions of sexual behavior with no protective barriers in transmasculine and nonbinary individuals. However, research on this population's sexual health has been scarce, especially in the Latin American region. This study sought to determine the prevalence of self-reported STIs, and to explore correlates of use of protective barriers during sexual behavior among transmasculine and nonbinary individuals in Argentina. A sample of 304 participants responded to a questionnaire online to explore sociodemographic variables, history of HIV and other STIs, access to sexual and gender-affirming healthcare, and sexual behavior. Chi-square tests were calculated, and bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify correlates of use of protective barriers during sexual behavior. Almost a quarter (23.4%) self-reported lifetime diagnosis of at least one STI and 63.8% did not use any protective barriers in their last sexual relation. Use of protective barriers during sexual behavior was negatively associated with insertive frontal/genital sexual behavior and with sex with cisgender women in the last month, and positively associated with ever attending a gynecologic examination, sex with cisgender men in the last month and lifetime transactional sex. Only these last two variables remained associated with use of protective barriers in the multivariable model. Use of protective barriers differs by type of sexual behavior and partner in transmasculine and nonbinary people. Sexual healthcare targeting this community should take this into consideration, and preventive interventions should be tailored to each individual's self-reported sexual behaviors.
