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

Transgender (trans) women are disproportionately impacted by adverse health outcomes compared to their cisgender counterparts, including mental health challenges, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, and intimate partner violence (IPV). In response, we developed the Supporting Trans women, Affirmation, Relationships, and Sex (STARS) program-a peer-delivered intervention that aims to promote gender affirmation, empowerment, and HIV prevention for trans women who have experienced IPV. STARS comprises four ∼1-hr individual peer-counseling sessions delivered over 6 weeks focused on safety planning, resource referrals, and HIV prevention. We used a convergent, mixed methods, randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the program's feasibility, acceptability, and explore preliminary efficacy. Thirty-seven participants were randomly assigned to the intervention (
