Internet and email use among STD clinic patients.
Article in Sexually transmitted diseases, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundLittle data exist on Internet and email use among STD clinic patients for research and clinical care communication.
methodsAn anonymous cross-sectional survey of STD clinic patients aged >/=18 years in Seattle, WA, March 13 to 22, 2006.
resultsOf 489 study period patients, 251 (51%) completed the questionnaire. Participants had a median age of 30 (range 18-66) years and were 69% male, 56% white, 19% black, 9% Hispanic, and 7% Asian/Pacific Islander. Of all participants, 75% had some postsecondary education but half reported an annual income of <US$15,000. Of 251 participants, 200 (80%) reported using the Internet from a private location at least once a week, 190 (76%) had their own email that they check at least 3 times a week, and 144 (57%) were willing to receive an email reminding them to come back for a follow-up appointment if diagnosed with an STD. Men who have sex with men were more likely than women and heterosexual men to be regular Internet and email users (92% vs. 70%, P = 0.001) and to have met a sex partner over the Internet during the past year (69% vs. 11%, P <0.001). Higher educational level and income, but not age or gender, were also associated with Internet and email use, as was racial/ethnic background (86% of whites, 48% of blacks, 73% of Hispanics, 100% of Asians/Pacific Islanders, and 57% of others, P <0.001).
conclusionsInternet and email use are common and acceptable to many STD clinic patients for research and clinical purposes.
