Psychoactive Substance Use and the Impact on the AIDS Epidemic Among the MSM Population: a Meta-Analysis - Worldwide, 2014-2023.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2024. 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
What is already known about this topic?: There is a correlation between psychoactive substance use and heightened human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) susceptibility in men who have sex with men (MSM) populations, although the precise impact on transmission risk remains unclear. What is added by this report?: In MSM populations, rush poppers and amphetamines are widely used, with rates of 10.91% and 9.97%. In China, rush poppers usage is notably higher at 47.26%. For other regions and coutries, amphetamines (12.86%), rush poppers (3.62%), and GHB (3.34%) are most common. Overall, 17% of MSM use psychoactive substances, with higher HIV risk from amphetamines [Odds ratio ( What are the implications for public health practice?: This study supports the idea that targeting specific regions and types of psychoactive substances for reduction among MSM populations can help decrease HIV transmission as well as promote prevention strategies.
