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

Bangladesh has historically maintained a low-level human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic; however, recent surveillance indicates a shifting burden toward men who have sex with men (MSM). This study aimed to assess temporal trends and comparative HIV risk among key populations in Bangladesh. National HIV surveillance data from 2016 to 2025 were analyzed using univariate logistic and Poisson regression models. MSM showed a markedly higher risk (odds ratio [OR] = 5.89; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.05-6.90;
