Jack'd dating application motivations, experiences, and sexual risk behaviors: a qualitative pilot study.
Article in Journal of LGBT youth, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Little is known about geosocial networking dating application use among young Black gay and bisexual men (YBGBM), a group severely affected by HIV in the U.S. The purpose of this study was to explore: (1) How YBGBM describe motivations to use Jack'd; (2) How YBGBM describe and experience meeting romantic-sexual partners on Jack'd, including partner preferences and offline sexual encounters; and (3) How these descriptions and experiences reflect sexual risk behaviors? Methods: Between April and July 2015, we conducted 23 face-to-face semistructured interviews with self-identified Black gay (n=15) and bisexual (n=8) men aged 21-25 years (M=23.48, SD=1.5) in Washington, DC. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis methodology. Results: Motivations to use Jack'd included in-person discomfort and challenges meeting men in spaces that could lead to homophobic physical violence. Nearly half articulated distrust with a Jack'd-met partner HIV status disclosure. Some participants reported inconsistent condom use when the insertive partner in anal sex, and several perceived Jack'd-met partners their own age to be less concerned about HIV than older men. Conclusion: HIV prevention strategies directed towards YBGBM should consider the role that dating applications may play in either exacerbating or attenuating sexual risk.
