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.

Substance use disparities are well-documented among sexual minority men (SMM) and substance use is associated with increased sexual HIV transmission risk. SMM in relationships may engage in dyadic coping whereby partners establish explicit joint goals restricting health-limiting behaviors. This formative study examined discussion of substance use concerns and substance use limit setting in 50 male couples. Eligible couples were recruited between March 2018 and March 2020.
