1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV face considerable psychosocial challenges, including stigma and discrimination, which may affect their mental health. Instead of considering each stigmatized identity in isolation, this study investigated the association between intersected HIV- and MSM-related stigma and psychological well-being of MSM living with HIV. Data of 402 MSM living with HIV were collected through a cross-sectional study in Guangxi, China, focusing on the association between HIV-/MSM-related stigma and HIV-related health outcomes among MSM living with HIV. Latent Moderated Structural Equations Approach was employed to examine the moderation effect of MSM-related stigma on the relationship between HIV-related stigma and mental health outcomes. The findings revealed that with a lower level of MSM-related stigma, the associations between HIV-related stigma and depression (β = 0.99, 95%CI [-0.63, 2.61], p = 0.23) or anxiety (β = 1.61, 95%CI [-0.44, 3.65], p = 0.12) were not significant; with a higher level of MSM-related stigma, the association between HIV-related stigma and depression (β = 3.32, 95%CI [1.67, 4.96], p < 0.001) or anxiety (β = 4.95, 95%CI [2.68, 7.22], p < 0.001) showed significant positive associations. The study demonstrates that higher levels of MSM-related stigma can intensify the relationship between HIV-related stigma and depression/anxiety among MSM. By emphasizing the role of intersectional stigma in adverse mental health outcomes, these findings will inform the development of effective and sustainable health strategies, policies, and services, including tailored mental health services and community-led stigma reduction programs aimed at the enhancement of well-being among MSM living with HIV.
