Male Incarceration Rates and Rates of Sexually Transmitted Infections: Results From a Longitudinal Analysis in a Southeastern US City.
Article in Sexually transmitted diseases, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn the United States, rates of certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are increasing. Contextual factors seem to play an important role in shaping STI transmission dynamics. This longitudinal study explores the relationship between one contextual determinant of health (the male incarceration rate) and rates of newly diagnosed STIs in census tracts in Atlanta, GA.
methodsThe sample consisted of all census tracts in Atlanta (n = 946). Annual data on STI diagnoses were drawn from the Georgia surveillance system for 2005 to 2010; annual male incarceration data were drawn from the Georgia Department of Corrections for 2005 to 2010; and data on potential confounders were drawn from the US Census. Multivariable growth models were used to examine the association between the male incarceration rate and rates of newly diagnosed STIs, controlling for covariates.
resultsCensus tracts with higher baseline male incarceration rates had a higher baseline rate of newly diagnosed STIs. Census tracts with increasing male incarceration rates experienced a more rapid increase in their rate of newly diagnosed STIs. Census tracts with medium and high baseline male incarceration rates experienced a decrease in their rate of newly diagnosed STIs over time.
conclusionsThe present study strengthens the evidence that male incarceration rates have negative consequences on sexual health outcomes, although the relationship may be more nuanced than originally thought. Future multilevel research should explore individual sexual risk behaviors and networks in the context of high male incarceration rates to better understand how male incarceration shapes rates of STIs.
