Prevalence and risk factors of STDs in rural Haiti: implications for policy and programming in resource-poor settings.
Article in International journal of STD & AIDS, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The goals of the current study are to: (1) estimate the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among women accessing services at a women's health clinic in rural Haiti; and (2) identify risk factors for STDs in this setting. The design is a case control study, comparing risk factors for women who demonstrated positive laboratory results for chlamydia and/or gonorrhoea to women who tested negative for both of these pathogens. The strongest risk factors for chlamydia and/or gonorrhoea were largely economic variables, with work as a domestic servant increasing the risk by four-fold. Working as a market vendor reduced a woman's risk of having an STD by approximately 45%. Given that economic factors are strongly associated with STD risk in this context, one potential mechanism for reducing the risk of STDs, including HIV, would involve increasing economic opportunities for women in rural Haiti.
