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.

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.

Abstract

Clinical trials involving sexual minority adolescents and young men in low- and middle-income countries have historically been limited due to a combination of structural, social, and scientific barriers that often hinder their participation. In addition, researchers lack the cultural competence or knowledge of inclusive recruitment strategies to effectively engage these populations. In this commentary, we describe the experiences, challenges, and opportunities in establishing youth advisory boards as a pathway to entry into the community, overcoming exclusion, building trust, and incorporating the voices of under-served sexual minority adolescents and young men in clinical trials and the development of community-informed interventions.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06350682 . Registered on February 10, 2026.
