Analysis of trends and risk factors of HIV incidence in men who have sex with men in Chongqing, China: a retrospective cohort study, 2013-2022.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2026. 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
backgroundChina has reported a high rate of HIV transmission through male-to-male sexual contact. This study aims to update the trend in HIV incidence density and identify associated risk factors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Chongqing, China.
methodsData on HIV incidence and sexual behaviors were obtained from the Chongqing CDC for MSM from 2013 to 2022. HIV incidence density was calculated biennially, along with the overall incidence rate. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify risk factors associated with HIV infection.
resultsA total of 2,134 HIV-negative MSM were included in the cohort. The overall HIV incidence density was 4.9 (95% CI: 4.3-5.6)/100 person-years (PYs) from 2013 to 2022. The HIV incidence density among MSM showed a declining trend. Multivariable analysis showed that MSM with a high school education or below (HR 1.57, 95% CI: 1.21-2.03), an anal sex role of versatile (HR 1.38, 95% CI: 1.03-1.85), seeking male sexual partners through offline methods (HR 1.73, 95% CI: 1.34-2.23), engaging in unprotected anal intercourse (HR 1.53, 95% CI: 1.19-1.97), and using rush poppers in the past six months (HR 1.60, 95% CI: 1.09-2.33) were identified as significant risk factors associated with HIV infection.
conclusionThe decline in HIV incidence density among MSM from 2013 to 2022 appeared to reflect the impact of comprehensive HIV prevention strategies implemented in Chongqing. Continued efforts to raise awareness of HIV infection, promote condom use, and reduce high-risk sexual behaviors among MSM remain essential public health priorities. CLINICAL TRIAL: Not applicable.
