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.

Abstract

introductionStigma and violence experienced by transgender women and women engaged in transactional sex may negatively impact health and access to HIV care. We investigated typologies of past-year violence experienced by transgender women living with HIV (TWLH), with or without involvement in transactional sex (TWLH-TS and TWLH-nTS, respectively) in France.

methodsWe used data from the 2020-2022 French national cross-sectional ANRS-TRANS&HIV survey, which included TWLH recruited in 36 HIV care centres. We performed latent class analyses using variables representing combinations of past-year violence type and perpetrator separately for TWLH-TS and TWLH-nTS. Correlates of the resulting past-year violence typologies among TWLH-TS were assessed using multinomial logistic regression.

resultsAmong TWLH-TS (66% of the 501 participants), three typologies emerged:

conclusionTWLH in France face intersecting forms of systemic violence and structural vulnerability. One in ten experienced multi-form, multiple-perpetrator violence, regardless of transactional sex involvement, with potential consequences for mental health. Client and street violence affected one in four TWLH-TS, and was associated with precarious housing and working conditions, as well as substance use and ART adherence difficulties. Ensuring equitable access to HIV care and mental health services for transgender women is essential and inseparable from protecting their fundamental human rights and improving their socioeconomic conditions.
