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
Background: Globally, HIV/AIDS continues to be a serious public health issue. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the incidence of new HIV infections among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) is gradually rising. Despite efforts being made, the high HIV infection positivity rate of 5% in Kigali among adolescent girls and young women continues to be a cause for concern. Objective: To assess factors associated with new HIV infection among AGYW in Kigali. Methods: The study used a case-control design, whereby cases were AGYW confirmed to HIV positive, while controls were AGYW confirmed to be HIV negative. Using SPSS Version 26, bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify HIV infection-associated factors. Results: The majority 748 (96.6%) of the study participants were in the age category of 20-24 years and 487(63.2%) were single. Multivariable logistic regression model showed the following factors as independent predictors: being employed (aOR: 1.43; 95% CI: 1.02-2.03), being resident of Kicukiro (aOR: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.07- 2.36), history of commercial sex worker (aOR: 2.04; 95% CI: 1.29-3.22) and having multiple sexual partners (aOR: .05; 95% CI: 1.41-2.98. Conclusion: Public health interventions from key policymakers are needed to strengthen public health strategies of commercial sex workers to reduce new HIV infection including raising awareness through education for HIV Prevention.
