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

Background: This study examined sexual delay discounting (SDD) as a potential factor associated with the relationship between substance use and condomless anal sex (CAS) among Black and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods: Baseline data were drawn from a multi-site HIV testing promotion trial (NIDA-CTN-0083) involving Black and Latino MSM across eight U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Past 90-day CAS and past 12-month substance use were assessed via self-report. SDD was measured using the Sexual Delay Discounting Task and summarized as area under the curve (AUC) values. K-means clustering identified four SDD profiles: high self-control, globally impulsive, immediate-impulsive, and delayed-impulsive. Ordinal logistic regression models examined associations among substance use, SDD profiles, and CAS. Results: A total of 271 participants were included. Compared with the high self-control group, the odds of CAS were significantly higher among the delayed-impulsive (OR = 2.978, Conclusions: SDD profiles were associated with CAS and may shape how illicit drug use relates to sexual risk behavior among Black and Latino MSM. These findings highlight the importance of considering temporal impulsivity in HIV prevention efforts.
