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
ObjectivesThis qualitative study used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to examine how stigma emerges in HIV prevention services for young Hispanic/Latino sexual minority men in North Carolina.MethodsIn-depth interviews were conducted with n = 14 community- and clinic-based providers between November 2023 and July 2024. Interviews were analyzed using a hybrid deductive-inductive approach.ResultsFindings identified multi-level factors shaping stigma experiences and practices. In the Outer Setting, sociocultural beliefs, discriminatory policies, and preventive care norms facilitated stigma, undermining trust and engagement in HIV prevention. Within the Inner Setting, organizational culture, physical space, accessibility, and workforce representation influenced whether services felt safe and trustworthy. Individual biases, limited awareness, stigmatizing communication, narrow biomedical framings of HIV risk, and inflexible service designs further reinforced stigma. Implementation processes that emphasized inclusive messaging, routine sexual health discussions, intentional workforce planning, and ongoing stigma-reduction training were described as opportunities to disrupt stigma across all CFIR domains.ConclusionStigma in HIV prevention for young Hispanic/Latino sexual minority men emerges across policy, organizational, and interpersonal levels. Implementation strategies that promote inclusive messaging, routine sexual health conversations, representative staffing, and ongoing training may help reduce stigma.
