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

Background: Online platforms have become important contexts through which men who have sex with men (MSM) meet sexual partners, yet little is known about how relationship patterns with online partners cluster and how these patterns shape condomless anal intercourse (CAI). Objectives: To identify distinct relationship typologies between MSM and their online sexual partners and examine how the typologies are associated with CAI, considering participants' attitude towards condom use as a moderator. Methods: A telephone-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted among MSM in Hong Kong between November 2023 and August 2024. Participants provided information on their demographics and condom attitudes, the relational features of their online sexual partnerships, and condom use. Results: A total of 405 participants reported on 1,067 online sexual partners in the past year. Latent class analysis identified three relationship typologies among MSM and their online sexual partners: Conclusions: Findings highlight the relationship heterogeneity between MSM and their online sexual partners. Tailored interventions that consider different relational contexts are needed to reduce CAI and improve HIV prevention.
