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
Transgender (trans) communities in Guatemala are severely and disproportionately affected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), with overall HIV prevention and care services severely limited. Our binational community-based participatory research partnership sought to identify priorities for advancing HIV health equity and curtailing the epidemic within Guatemalan transgender communities. In June 2024, we held five stratified, in-person Spanish-language listening sessions in Guatemala City with community leaders (N = 18) representing grassroots trans advocacy groups, frontline mental health providers, and community-based and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer+ (LGBTQ+) organizations. Constant comparison was used to analyze listening session data. Nine macrolevel themes were identified including the context in which Guatemalan trans communities live-a context characterized by profound stigmatization and discrimination, the pathologization of sexual and gender minorities, and violence. Twenty-four actionable community priorities were also identified, including improving HIV surveillance, addressing social and structural stigma and discrimination, ensuring comprehensive provider training, conducting community-centered research, enhancing mental health services, and addressing upstream social determinants of health (e.g. economic opportunities). While further research is needed, our findings offer insights into the experiences of Guatemalan trans communities, highlight community priorities for advancing health equity and curtailing the HIV epidemic, and provide a roadmap for culturally responsive interventions and policy development.
