Understanding social context in HIV and drug use via community-informed computational modeling: SILOS study protocol.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Racial, ethnic, and sexual and gender minority populations are disproportionately impacted by HIV and other infectious diseases. A rigorous and holistic view of how individual and complex factors interact to produce health disparities among minority populations is urgently necessary. Methods: This project seeks to understand the social and contextual systems around the most marginalized HIV-impacted populations by investigating how differences in access to people and places confer HIV risk. Specifically, we have planned an innovative observational study across five US cities, administering in-depth remote network surveys to 2,700 racially diverse young men who have sex with men and transgender women. The data captured will be used to develop simulation models of city-specific synthetic populations to examine how differences in the people and places populations have access to pools risk within marginalized populations and increases their disparities in HIV. Results: The study was awarded in August 2024 but has paused since March 2025 due to the NIH's termination of the study just prior to the start of participant recruitment. The future of the work is currently unclear as we pursue multiple avenues for reinstatement. Discussion: Drawing upon both our expertise in network modeling and our strong community partnerships, this project remains poised to transform scientific understanding of the structural drivers of health inequity.
