Incident sexually transmitted infections and their risk factors in an Aboriginal community in Australia: a population based cohort study.
Article in Sexually transmitted infections, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo identify risk factors for incident sexually transmitted infections (STI) in a remote Aboriginal community in Australia.
designA population based cohort study.
settingAn Aboriginal community in central Australia.
participants1034 Aboriginal people aged 12-40 years, resident in the study region, seen during the period 1 January 1996 to 30 June 1998 for STI diagnosis.
main outcome measuresIncident rate of gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and syphilis per 100 person years.
resultsThere were 313 episodes of incident gonorrhoea, 240 of incident chlamydial infection, and 17 of incident syphilis. For gonorrhoea, risk factors were age, substance abuse, and previous prevalent chlamydial infection with a rate ratio (RR) of 3.2 in people aged 15-19 years, 1.6 in people who abused alcohol, and 3.2 in women who had sniffed petrol on a regular basis. For chlamydia, risk factors were sex, age, and a previous history of STI with a RR of 2.7 in people aged 15-19 years. Similar factors were associated with an increased risk of syphilis but the associations were not statistically significant.
conclusionThis study identified objective predictors of incident STI which can be used to target interventions and maximise their impact. The results of this study may well have relevance to indigenous communities in other countries that are faced with high levels of STI and substance abuse.
