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

Transgender women (TW) bear high HIV and syphilis burden, but little is known about their partners (PTW). We conducted a cross-sectional study at a voluntary HIV-testing center in Argentina (June/2023-January/2025). PTW were individuals reporting sex with TW, regardless of other partners' genders. We compared sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics and HIV and syphilis prevalence among PTW, men who have sex with men (MSM), and TW. We included 211 PTW, 1715 MSM, and 152 TW. PTW median age was 30 years and 65% identified as cisgender men. PTW also reported sex with cisgender women (74.9%) and men (53.6%); 22.1% reported transactional sex. HIV and syphilis prevalences in PTW (3.3%, 5.2%) were lower than TW (10.5%, 27.0%) and similar to MSM (6.1%, 8.7%). Syphilis was associated with transactional sex and inversely associated with having sex with cisgender men (p < .05), underscoring the need for tailored prevention strategies for PTW.
