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

purposeExperiences with the criminal legal system can increase the risk of HIV transmission and disrupt linkage to HIV care and prevention. This study quantified the association between criminal legal system involvement and HIV outcomes among transgender women of color (TWOC).

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis using first-wave data from the Trying to Understand Relationships, Networks, and Neighborhoods Among Transgender Women of Color Cohort Study (

resultsAmong our cohort of TWOC, 50% had previously been arrested and 28% had previously been incarcerated. Half of the participants were living with HIV. History of incarceration was positively associated with living with HIV. Among those living with HIV, a history of incarceration was associated with an increased risk of having a detectable HIV viral load.

conclusionsAmong TWOC in our study, criminal legal system involvement was significantly associated with HIV seropositivity and having a detectable viral load among those living with HIV. These findings highlight the negative health implications of the criminal legal system for a socially oppressed population and can potentially inform future directions to challenge policing practices that disproportionately target TWOC.
