Sexualized Drug Use Among Sexually and Gender Diverse Adolescents in Brazil.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 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
Sexualized drug use (SDU) is a known phenomenon with significant implications for HIV vulnerability. Chemsex, a specific subset of SDU, involves the use of substances such as GHB/GBL, mephedrone, or methamphetamine to facilitate sexual activity. This study investigated factors associated with SDU among sexual and gender diverse adolescents (SGDa) in Brazil. This study used data from the PrEP15-19 project, a cohort investigating the implementation of daily oral PrEP among SGDa in Brazil. A structured sociobehavioral questionnaire was administered at baseline between February 2019 and February 2023. SDU was defined as the use of alcohol or drugs before or during sexual intercourse. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with SDU. Among 1,264 adolescents, the prevalence of SDU was 30.1%. The most frequently used substances in the three months prior to the survey were alcohol (87.7%), marijuana (44.8%), and cocaine (8.5%). The prevalence of chemsex was low (2.4%). Adjusted factors significantly associated with increased SDU included: being a transgender woman (aOR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.04-3.11); engaging in transactional sex in the last 3 months (aOR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.45-3.23); engaging in group sex in the last 3 months (aOR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.07-2.22); and having more than three sexual partners in the last 3 months (aOR: 1.67; 95% CI: 1.20-2.33). SDU has a high prevalence among Brazilian SGDa and represents a critical factor in understanding the high rates of HIV infection in this population.
